Lahat ng Kabanata ng Second Life: Exposing the Fraud Genius Animal Trainer: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

It was then that my boyfriend, Brandon Jenner, exclaimed, "You're the top student in our animal training program, Tamara! You've got such a talent for this—every animal you work with follows your orders perfectly. You're the only one fit for the National Day Gala performance!"I heard the familiar speech just as I regained consciousness from the pain of having my bones crushed by a python.In the meantime, my classmates gathered around me, looking at me with anticipation and respect. "What kind of animal are you training this time, Tamara? We're all looking forward to your performance! We're counting on you to bring glory to the college!"I replied indifferently, "I haven't decided yet."Brandon added urgently, "You have to make sure you're fully prepared since they're picking the performance for the National Day Gala this time around, Tamara."It was then that Yvonne Quinlan grabbed my arm and said, "You're known as the college's youngest prodigy in animal training, Tamara! Your

In that instant, a crowd gathered as they overheard the conversation."You're usually so timid, Yvonne. How could you be training timber wolves now? You ought to know that timber wolves are predators that can take down bears!"Yvonne lifted her chin with a proud expression. "It's not that bad. I found that timber wolves are just like huskies—they're very obedient. I mean, they do exactly what I say, whether it's standing or dancing."I ran back to the training facility in a daze and stood there in silence, watching the three timber wolves I had trained dancing in grass skirts. I started to think that no matter what animal I chose, Yvonne would somehow claim it as her own. I even considered quitting since I couldn't change the outcome.I applied for a leave of absence to head back to my hometown, using the excuse that my grandma's hens had stopped laying eggs and I needed to train them to fix their behavior. Elliott Greene, the student coordinator, initially refused my request, bu

I suppressed a laugh and turned to look at Yvonne. "You're both even now—neither of you can be grossed out by the other. Your love is so touching that even the pigeons couldn't ignore it. They decided to help you fulfill your destiny of eating shit together, Yvonne."Brandon's expression immediately hardened. He was just about to curse me out, but the foul smell hit him so hard that he ended up gagging and throwing up instead.In the end, Elliott had to call in a crew to deal with the situation. He dismissed the crowd and arranged for someone to clean up the disaster Yvonne had caused.It was the following day when I released all the animals from my training base, allowing them to retreat back into the wild. In their place, I brought a chaotic mix of dozens of roosters and hens from my hometown—roosters, hens, fryers, and layers—and started raising them in a disorderly flock.I was busy gathering eggs when Brandon came to see me. He stared in total disbelief at the sight of my trai

Brandon and Yvonne became infamous due to this incident. They were known as the devoted couple who shared a "taste" for manure, and whenever anyone saw them, they would instinctively cover their nose and run away, treating Brandon and Yvonne like a walking contagion.Their pride was completely crushed. They started keeping a low profile and stopped messing with me from then on, fearing that I would send them another truck of chicken manure.That evening, I signaled for the pigeons—which were carrying red and white striped banners and performing formations in the air—to come down for their food.Elliott approached me and asked, "You mentioned earlier that you were going to train chickens to lead the pigeons, right? I've never heard of one animal taming another like that. How's that coming along, Tamara?"I turned to face Elliott, replying, "I've pretty much wrapped up the training. I should be good enough to go for the audition."Elliott then asked for a demonstration.I tossed ou
