The Cost of Redemption
Chapter 1
They say that the cost of redemption is a great one. That a single moment in our life can change the way people think about life and about themselves. It could also change the way others thought about themselves too.
Those were the thoughts running through Damon Salvatore's head as he sat in the cold metal chair looking out at the rest of the group. He had heard about this group through the grapevine and he thought he should probably check it out . Seeing as how he was forty five years old and he felt like his life was going nowhere that he was going nowhere.
"Damon Salvatore." a man called out.
Damon got out of his chair and walked up to the stage. It was time he finally told his story. He just hoped that everyone was willing to hear him.
"I once believed that I had it all. I was on top of the world and I could see it all, but now my life is full of despair and it seems like i'm losing all my hair, but that was an impromptu poem and now I'm gonna tell you all what destroyed it all. You see it started when I was twenty six, I was living high on life and she was turning tricks, but she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and when she talked to other man I swear my face turned green, but than I found her standing there crying because a man had pulled her by her hair, so I sat down and talked to her for a little while and I didn't know that she was stealing my heart all the while. Than the two strangers turned into best friends and they had dreams filling though their heads. Friends became lovers and lovers became wild and through this love came a marriage and a child. There was a lot of fighting and a lot of restless nights and everything he said always ended up in a fight. So he took his keys and his child and decided to drive around for a little while never knowing that he would be in a car crash and almost lose his child. But she fought and she fought her, but it left her a little bit scared and his wife she didn''t recognize him at all and them he lost his life child, wife, and all. And that's the story of this man trying to find his road to redemption."
