~
did you look at the clock when you stopped
my heart, watch my flatline carve through
your lies? time of death marked by
abuse piled like grave dirt,
yet the end of that
girl has freed me,
and now this
zombie
lives.

Hometown Hero
They say heroes are made in the worst of times, and I suppose they are correct. For the vast majority of my life, I've been a common man. I have a wife and three children. I have always been a God-fearing man, and I've attended church every Sunday since I was nine years old.
