“The Victoria Index — How Boris Was Made”
Author’s Note — The Summerstone Canonical Edition
This is the cleaned ledger of a man who refused to fold. From the Carriage Park years to the Summerstone nights, every move in Victoria was a test of endurance disguised as rent. Each address held a version of him—some broke, some rebuilding, all burning quietly.
He didn’t chase glory here. He learned the cost of peace, the price of patience, and the rhythm of getting back up when no one’s watching.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s proof. The record of a survivor who walked out of Victoria not as a victim, but as the system’s final audit.
2004 — Return to Civilian Ground
- Exit from military service.
- Stay briefly with sister near YMCA area.

- Move into Carriage Park Apartments, later renamed Midtown.
- Mother stays with you briefly before passing (2005–2006).
- Adopt stray cat Lucky; her kitten Boots follows — “Lucky Boots” era.
- Share a 2 BR / 1 BA unit with a gay roommate; stable, functional stretch.
- VHS-recording accident, Alienware theft, and fired-coworker moment occur here.
- That same roommate later helps move you north toward Ben Jordan St.
2007–2009 — Summerstone Apartments (North Ben Jordan / TABC Arc)
Relocate to Summerstone Apartments, north of YMCA.
The helper roommate from Carriage Park assists the move but dies during the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak.
Rotate through roommates afterward; nights spent working and gaming mornings.
TABC case occurs within this window (Class A/C misdemeanor).

By late 2009 → early 2010: rent pressure and voluntary move-out.

2015–2018 — The Colony Chronicles / Harvey Aftermath
- Share apartment with volatile roommate who hijacks internet.
- Rising tension through 2016–2017.
- August 2017: Hurricane Harvey hits — regional shutdowns, outages, emotional exhaustion.
- Sell game collection (~$1.2K) to cover rent for yourself and girlfriend — survival move, not surrender.
