Harden Street, 1958 (Part Four)

con't The damn memories are still so clear. And now I am alone, the only one left because my brother sliced his neck in what has become a family tradition, that is, to leave of your own volition. If I could only get the reruns to quit maybe my goddamned head wouldn't split and I wouldn't feel so fragmented broken into a million disassociated pieces in a fugue until it ceases.

Truly, the "rating system" just doesn't apply here. How does one rate this series a "7" when it is so beautifully written a number in the millions wouldn't do it justice? I have read every piece, including 'what the hell happened' and I will finish commenting at the end of the end of that series. I imagine that these bios really strike a nerve in the reader who has been exposed to 'similar' sicknesses of the heart. I am going to read all of your work from now on. Excellent reality check! k

No one, repeat no one, deserves this. You can't change the past, only the future. You need to be able to look in that mirror and know you desrve better, much better. Excellent piece of writing. God Bless. Vince
