New Prologue

In case you were interested... let me know what you think.

They say your life flashes before your eyes right before you die, but that’s not how it happened for me. Instead, as the streetlights spun around me, I saw the things that would never be, the moments I wanted to live more than anything else. The first and last time I wept was at the funeral, but this new devastation pulverized me. I was pinned beneath the ache, the agony, the loathing. They were a fifty-five gallon drum crushing my chest. I hadn’t been man enough to risk one thing, so now I would lose everything.

There was no denying it. I was too far gone.
