As a child, Bryan D. Kreepy grew up in the Bayou, as a young boy he collected insects of
all kinds. In school he kept to himself, because he was ostracized by the other
students over his love of insects...even roaches. Although going to class was
harsh and living a hard knock life was even worse. Bryan excelled academically;
Show and Tell was where his brilliance would shine. He knew everything
about insects, rodents and all kinds of exotic animals. It was a school day during a Show
and Tell, is where Bryan met his first friend, Lenny. They would play
together, discover new adventures and become the best of friends.
The next summer, Lenny's parents, a very wealthy couple, invited Bryan to go
on a trip with them to Brazil for a few weeks--to which he gladly accepted.
Bryan couldn’t sleep, he was excited about all of the critters he was going to
see. Plus he was with his best friend, Lenny. Once there, on their first outing
together, they headed to Brazil's tropical rainforest. Bryan would tell Lenny
all about any insect or small rodent that they would come across. Once they were in Brazil, and during their first trek together. Sometimes the two would play hide and seek. One day, when out in the woods, Lenny spotted a frog, it was a poison dart frog. Its bright color was visually appealing to
him, as it would be to any child. Not knowing of its lethal danger, he picked the frog up. Soon after, Bryan finds Lenny lying lifeless,
as he turns to see the poison dart frog jumping back into the water. In a blind
panic he runs for help. Stumbling through and over bushes and down rough
terrain, he falls on a sharp rock and blinds himself in his right eye. A continuing roll
down a steep hill also shatters one of his knees -- he will walk with a limp for
life.
Bryan wakes up in the hospital, he's going to be as well as expected. There
is no physical pain that can match the hurt that runs inevitably over and over
again in his mind. Bryan doesn't talk about his ordeal to anyone, he keeps it
bottled up inside him, he blames himself for everything. He has made himself numb to other
people's feelings, including his own. It's how he deals with it...it's how he lives.
As time passes his mental state becomes radically worse. He talks to himself in
a third person, and feels that insects and animals should be placed above human beings in society. There is a cause for concern.
44 years later, as an adult Mr. Kreepy owns his own traveling Sideshow Circus, he has adopted 13 uncanny children. The are all very different from other children and have certain attributes that attract people's attention. They are all apart of what he calls the Non-Norm. They are all apart of his Sideshow Circus. He hardly ever let the children go out to play, he doesn't want people to get use to seeing or being around them. This course of events will eventually lead Mr. Kreepy to his greatest discovery, his greatest Non-Norm the world has ever seen...The Dweeblinks.
Very cool!
