the metal nervously; nervously, my willful negligence deliciously tormenting me. A single bullet, and with it the power to exert my will upon whatever I wished. I had no need for a gun. I wouldn't have been permitted to own one even if I had needed to. The bullet was illicitly sourced from underneath the front porch of a friends old cabin. Though initially ordered by my parents not to keep it, their pleas went unheeded. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, filling my heart with artificial courage
mine and my mother’s relationship. My mother and I have had a strong relationship for as long as I can remember. Although we did have a period of time much like Mitch and Morrie where we didn’t connect. I eventually came back around, much like Mitch did with Morrie.
