Chapter 1: Prologue
When I was ten years old, a drunk driver crashed into my father's car. They said it was so bad people
had a hard time telling where the drunk's car ended and my father's began. Dad died instantly, so they
say, and Mom devastated. For a while, I thought I might lose her too.
Eventually, Mom got better, well sort of. She stopped starving herself and acting like a somewhat

Now, Harry made Mom happy without a doubt so I figured I would overlook his canine inclination and
didn't balk at moving. Besides, I had nothing keeping me there in Chatham. After Dad died, I lost all my
friends. The worst seemed to be over, and in all truth, what did I have to lose, right?
As it turns out, I had a lot to lose, and the worst was far from over. This is the story of how my one
simple plan get out alive was torn to shreds and stomped into the ground.
