Chance

“CHANCE” “Go ahead and get outta here cuz. Be safe out there.” Last words Yaseer heard from his cousin Art as he walked on the tip of his toes out of building 58. He spent the past 2 and a half years of a 9 year bid sharing a cell with his paternal cousin that he never met until fate would deem them worthy of this encounter. They built a strong bond in such a short time after being introduced to each other by cousin number 3. Unfortunately for young black boys who grow to be “men” it’s not rare to end up incarcerated with kin or a friend.
