When the speech was over, I got to thinking. How can a man change “so much”. We you’re an adult your grown and you are the person you will be for the rest of your life. Can anyone really change? Could I change from a ruthless drug lord to a simple city girl. Get a cute job, find a partner, and just live in the moment. No. That isn’t me. I could never settle for some empty, cheap, already done life. Merely thinking about that makes my stomach churn.

I quickly gathered my thoughts and exited the building. Something was wrong. I felt weak and confused. I looked at passersby like they were all freaks. They stared at me like I was the freak. I stumbled my way up to may apartment and crashed n my bet. About five minutes later I heard a snap and everything went black.

I was in my bathroom tied to the toilet by rusty chains. In front of me was Chico with a sadistic smile. He mumbled an inaudible phrase and five other men entered the room. I was about to die. They al lunged towards me and I woke up in the devils office.

“I gave you another chance and you blew it violet”

“I know but please”

“NO” he interjected

“Time to burn for eternity”

The room became engulfed in flames and I woke up in a hospital bed.

“You had a seizure” said the nurse.

“Everything is going to be ok”

….No it wasn’t. I couldn’t feel my legs.
