TRIGGER WARNING:
violence, death

Micah Brennan’s life began in the harshest of circumstances, abandoned as a newborn in a Manchester dumpster. Left to the foster system, his early years were marked by neglect and loneliness. As a child, Micah struggled with anger and trust, lashing out in rebellion through graffiti, theft, and vandalism. By the age of 13, his mischief escalated to stealing a cop car for a joyride. That stunt landed him in a group home for troubled teens, where, for the first time, Micah found a semblance of connection. The other kids became a makeshift family, and for a while, he felt like he belonged.At 15, Micah was adopted by a single mother who saw the potential in him that others overlooked. She was patient, kind, and determined to show him love, earning his trust in a way no one else had. For the first time in his life, Micah began to hope for stability. Tragically, his newfound security was short-lived—she passed away unexpectedly when he was 16. Devastated and unwilling to risk being thrust back into the foster system, Micah ran away, choosing the uncertainty of the streets over losing another piece of his heart.Shortly after running away, Micah found himself in London. He was beaten and robbed by a gang, left injured and penniless in an alley. A girl found him and took him in. She nursed him back to health and introduced him to a small community of street performers and artists. Through them, Micah learned to busk with an old guitar, paint portraits, and use his creativity to survive. One day, the girl vanished without a trace, leaving behind her guitar he had used to busk with and a note that read, “This guitar has a story to tell, just like you.” Micah still treasures that guitar to this day, a constant reminder of his resilience and journey.Despite his growing resourcefulness, he was arrested a few times for minor offenses during his late teens, like shoplifting and trespassing, as he tried to navigate life on his own.When Micah was 19, he was discovered by a talent scout while performing outside a café in London. Impressed by his raw talent and emotional depth, the scout offered Micah a chance to record music in a professional studio. Hesitant but intrigued, Micah accepted and soon found himself in Los Angeles, working with a small but promising label. For the first time, it seemed like his life was on the brink of something extraordinary.However, the promise of a bright future came crashing down when Micah discovered the producer had lied to him. The producer had cheated Micah out of his earnings, using him for money while making false promises about advancing his career. During a heated argument, the anger Micah felt exploded from within him, and suddenly the studio was engulfed in flames. Though no one was seriously hurt, the incident left Micah terrified of what he had done and unwilling to risk being arrested again. Ashamed and overwhelmed, he packed his belongings and ran.Shattered, Micah set off on a cross-country road trip, seeking solace and a fresh start. He spent years drifting, hitchhiking, and working odd jobs. Along the way, he met people who shaped him mentally, physically, and spiritually, including a tattoo artist who took him under his wing and offered him an apprenticeship. Micah threw himself into the craft, finding solace in the precision and creativity of tattooing. Over time, his body became a canvas for his emotions, the ink telling the story of his resilience.By his mid-20s, Micah had settled in Detroit, where he carved out a modest but fulfilling life. Living in a simple one-bedroom apartment, he works as a freelance artist and spends his evenings writing songs and performing at local venues. While he occasionally dreams of making it big again, Micah values the life he’s built for himself. Every hard-earned dollar is a reminder of how far he’s come, and he takes pride in never accepting handouts.The people he met during his travels taught him to be more open-hearted and confident, tempering the bitterness that once defined him. Micah strives to treat others with kindness and respect, though the inner fire that carried him through his struggles still burns. He keeps his emotions in check, but when pushed too far—a rarity—his intensity can be explosive.Despite his tumultuous past, Micah is content. He’s found a sense of peace in his art, his music, and the quiet life he’s built for himself, though he can't help wondering at times about a life that might've been.
