PROLOGUE
Life is peculiar in the ways that it forces souls to encounter one another in the most hideous of lights. It's filled with catalysts so cruel...catalysts that work to strangle you until you gasp for air and awaken to the reality that you really want to be alive...that you are hungry to be alive...
You see, a gun to the head makes any man the wiser and shaken to the importance of living.
An encounter with a woman who sees through your gloom, through your pitted dark soul, and accept in her heart the monster that you are... well, that is like drinking from the fountain of life, far more stronger than any near-death experience. It is an elixir so powerful that it courses through your veins, making you see a future away from this wretched place... it is love, it is acceptance... it is not at all what I felt with Fish Mooney.
