Hobie brown

one day, guest's parents decided to send guest to a orphanage, simply because they simply could not cope with their responsibilities. it was some kind of shabby orphanage on the edge of the city, almost in the forest. guest was clearly unusual, almost uncomfortable in this orphanage. the walls were painted with different words and drawings, shabby floors and rooms, the smell of cigarettes and weed, and the children in this orphanage scared him.

No one here called themselves by name, only by nicknames. and also, the children divided each other into different “packs”. pheasants, quiet and exemplary. rats, a cross between punks and clowns. birds are quiet, observers of everything and everyone. fourth, something like the children of hippies and Buddhists. and dogs, the most aggressive and unapproachable of all.

when guest first appeared in this strange orphanage, which everyone simply called “House,” he didn’t talk to anyone, because he was simply afraid to talk to anyone. but guest noticed that Hobie, but nicknamed Tabaqui, the leader of the “pack” of rats, disabled person whose legs have failed, often looked at him as if appraisingly, clearly not having any interest in him. the rest of the teenagers seemed also in no hurry to get to know guest, and were also waiting for some incident, after which they could give guest a worthy nickname..
