After being removed from his mom's custody by the state, Don was placed in a group home. The experience of the home made Don's already cold heart even colder. While at the group home Don made 1 friend. A small kitten that he found abandoned in the street that he named Blackie. He loved Blackie right away because they had a connection. Blackie was left alone in the world to fend for himself just as he had been. Blackie was the only thing Don had ever loved in this cruel world and spending time with Blackie everyday helped Don forget about his miserable reality. Blackie understood him like no one else ever would. The older boys at the group home began to take notice to Don's relationship with the kitten after a while. They immediately put a plan in motion to take away Don's happiness. The older boys believed that it was their job to make sure that everyone's stay at the group home was filled with misery and despair. It was what made them happy and able to forget about their own miserable realities. The older boys found Don's kitten outside and beat the kitten to within inches of his life. They sat around and waited so they could see the pain on Don's face when he found his best friend in this condition. Don cried when he found Blackie in this position, but then a strong urge came over him and he decided to show the older boys what someone who had nothing to live for was capable of. He bashed Blackie's head in with a 2 by 4 as the older boys watched in shock. Don loved Blackie, but he enjoyed the feeling he got when he killed him. Don loved the rush he got from killing Blackie and he knew that he would one day kill again.
Don grew to hate anyone who seemed to be happy. From his experience with life there was no way that he could imagine people being genuinely happy without faking it. When he discovered Twitter he found himself crossing paths with the kind of people he despised most in this world. Those fake happy women who thought that they were too good for someone like him. Don nicknamed women like this Twitter Honeys. Don's new mission in life was to make life miserable for the 'Twitter Honeys' just as his whole life had been.
