"Pop pop pop pop. Now I know I was officially home at hearing a gunshot in the distance. It was sort of a ritual to fall asleep to gun shots going off every night. The city I lived in was crazy but like I said I loved it."
This was also very powerful. Love these.. Once you're finished with the whole story you should put all the parts together in one long post. Or Send it in one long message on FB.
