I want to apologize.
When I started this job, it was a dream come true. Something I could only wish and hope for. For years, I have always wanted to do something for the arcade, to contribute something good. When it got out what had happened in our game those dreams seemed all but over but a friend of mine had faith in me. My FAMILY had faith in me and for the first time in a long time I felt that I could make that dream come true.
But then so many things happened. So many things that have hurt so many people during this holiday season. What started out as an idea to share Christmas cheer throughout the arcade got out of hand and maybe it is my fault. I only wanted to make people happy and because of this I allowed myself to be controlled but also scared. I thought I was stronger than that, to let this happen again but I was reminded just how vulnerable we can all be.
Because of this, I am resigning as a writer at this paper. I do not want to cause anyone else any more grief this Christmas but as one last sign of respect to all parties involved, I want to share with you the story. The story of what I really wanted to share.
