## Biography

Base after Base was only 2 when he first got into Basketball. He was highly competitive against Keya (pronounced Kae-ya), his cousin, who was 1.5 years older than him, though always failing to beat her 1 on 1 in basketball as she was just too good for him. This made Base really upset, as he used to be a terrible sport when it comes to losing to his annoying cousin. He always seeks the attention of his Uncle, a well-known professional basketballer who played in Base's favourite team, the Arumbian Warriors. His Uncle would coach Base after Base every Friday, and he would practice non-stop until he never missed any of his shots, (which is impossible and never happened but anyways).

On one fateful day, Keya and the others came to stay for a house gathering. Base after Base was not very thrilled in having the vexing pest around, so he and the neighbourhood friends challenged Keya on a 4v1. Base after Base was expecting to win this easily by a landslide, but surprisingly, Keya managed to beat them 6 to 4 in a best of 10 match! Infuriated, Base after Base stormed upset and distressed towards his uncle, sitting next to the food table. His sister Final Destruction was eating carrots, but gave up on the first bite. "Can't! Can't!" she screamed, as Uncle Ground Base asked what was wrong. Base after Base ended up spilling his thoughts and venting out his angriness on Keya, and then started doubting his abilities, even to the point when he considered that he was just too bad at basketball. However, Uncle Ground-Base confirmed to Base after Base that he was one of the quickest learners, that Keya was just older than him and he had to deal with it. When Base heard this, he grew enraged and shouted at his uncle, screaming that he was trying the hardest he could, and that maybe he was secretly biased towards Keya, and maybe even trained even more than him.

Convinced that this was the reason, Base after Base yelled his final insult before rushing to the solace of his bedroom. Outside, he could see his friends leaving, glancing up his bedroom window to say their final goodbyes. His uncle was leaving for his finals match, against the Ombre State Champions. Though he was upset, he wished the best of luck to his uncle, and hoped with all his heart that his team would win. Keya was smirking at him, sticking her tongue out and glaring at him with a mischievious grin. Base after Base furiously slammed the window curtains shut, and sulked on a bag of chips whilst binge-watching his favourite show, Popeye.

Hours passed, and Base began to grow worried. Where was everyone? He should have been happy that no one was coming to disturb him, but his tantrum phase has been long gone, ever since he finished episode 3 of season 2 Popeye.

"Mum?" Base after Base called out, running downstairs in hopes of finding his mother's presence, but instead, found not a single living soul in the kitchen. Worried thoughts began to spring into Base after Base's mind, and he raced outside. Sitting on the front doorstep, Base after Base began looking out for his family, only to find no one coming in. 30 minutes flew by, 1 hour danced past, 2 hours sped rapidly, until Base's hope faltered, and he fell asleep.

"Basey!"

Base after Base aroused from his slumber in a jolt, recognizing the familiar voice of his dad.

"Daddy! Where were you? Where was everyone??!!" Base inquired demandingly, but instead, he caught the sorrowful gaze of his father's eyes. Keya was behind him, and surprisingly, her usual teasing face had been replaced by a dull, poker face. *What happened?!* Base after Base thought, searching through the crowds of relatives until he finally found his mom. Squeezing tight in her embrace, Base demanded to know what was happening, and why everyone had suddenly become so sombre.

"I'm so sorry Basey, sweetie..." Tears sprung into his mother's eyes, and she sobbed quietly, pulling Base tighter in her cuddle, as Base felt the heaving movements of her shoulders as she cried. His father placed his large hands on Base's shoulder, and cast down a miserable expression. Base after Base stared back up at him expectantly, and that's when his father finally spoke the forbidden words.

"Your Uncle died, Basey. He had a heart attack amidst the game. He was immediately rushed to intensive care, but no, they weren't quick enough. He was dead by the time he was in the patient room."

Base after Base felt his entire world come to a halt. The moment he has dreaded the most. He prayed almost everynight that wouldn't happen. The one thing that concerned him the most has happened. Base after Base felt intense remorse and regret, for spitting those harmful words to his uncle back then. How he wished he could just crawl into his arms and apologize and tell him that he meant nothing. None of the words. But what was the point? Maybe he even died because of what Base had said. All the things he had planned to do with Ground-Base, were eradicated to nothing, but the shreds of broken dreams that contaminated his heart. Nothing made sense anymore, nothing mattered anymore, but the death of the most beloved person to Base after Base. His one inspire for Basketball, his support through all the times he had failed, and most of all, the person that cared and looked out for Base no matter what.

That day, his life had crashed down to a terrible, guilty heap.
