Once a Thief
The story I am about to tell is a true one, sad, but still true. Emily, Holly, and Jenny were all 14, and grew up together, which makes the betrayal even worse. During a time when Emily's grandparents were in town, all the grown ups get together. Well the 3 of them wanted to go do what 14 year old girls do, go see boys in the apartment complex Emily lived in. Emily and Jenny were super close friends, (or Emily thought so anyway) even called each other cousins. Always there during hard times, Holly showed Emily a side of her that Emily didn't even know existed. A cruel side, knowing that at the time, Holly was Emily's only friend, she used it to her advantage everyday, and in the future part of this sad and true story, she remained the same as she was as a 14 year old bully, just grew into a 37 year old bully.

THE FAR SIDE
Usually, in most “war” stories, you always hear or read the grandiose tales about the wives, the girlfriends, and the mistresses, but rarely do you hear or read a mumbling word about what lurks on the far side of the story---the law. In my many years of hustling in the streets, I had two law enforcement agents, in particular, that dogged me relentlessly. The first was a FBI agent, Joe Kenny, and the second one was a vice cop called Rambo. Both operated very differently, but both were very good at what they did which was putting the bad guys in jail.

Being tortured
Never in a million eons would I think I would be writing about what I am writing about, nor did I ever in a million decades thought I would be writing in in the location and circumstances, my current life is in. As so many say though, it is what it is, only thing is, I don't know what it is. I have ideas and assumptions, but I won't claim to know what it is when, people say, it is what it is, if I don't know what it is.
