Life Slips

Life can change at light speed, when your Dad is hit in the chest with a 12-gauge doing his police duties with no vest. Now what was once the nest only tends to press down your neck, strangling the memory around every city block. Mom bought two tickets, airlifted her and sis far away. I said I would stay. She gave me what was left of her pay. On the day we lay my dad to rest I received the keys to the Vette. Stressed, angry, alone, and scared I bared down on the gas, hauling ass to leave this place in the past. California bound......What found me is something one has to see to believe. If you come, there's only one way to leave.
