Hello there!
This chapter is actually one of my favorites and I was very excited about you reading it, however, I'm having a hard time thinking whether I should continue writing this story. In case you didn't know, I am from México, one of the countries that are the most infested by what we call organized crime. Last night an entire city was sieged by the most important cartel of the country because police had the son of "El Chapo" under custody, the government decided to release the man back to his people in order to stop the blood bath that would surely follow if they didn't. It was a dark day for the country, people were hurt, police and military men perished under criminal hands, kids ran away scared by the sound of bullets, the city became no man's land.
Over the last few years, there has been a growth in organized crime portrayed on tv. Cartels are glorified in songs, tv shows and even movies to the point people have started romancing it, now they want to belong to that world and I realize how important is the impact that situation has over the violence in the country.
This isn't my first story about the criminal world and it is not my intention to glorify or victimize the lives of criminals, I really want to tell a story and humanize Damon as much as possible but that doesn't mean I justify criminal actions or glamourize them, I think of this story as nothing but fictional and I do not condone the actions taken by the characters in this. I know how much pain organized crime can cause, I know the terror it inflicts on the people and the brutal way in which it operates, I do not and have never supported it.
Like I say, I am really struggling with my thoughts on this and I reiterate that I do not condone this behavior at all, this been said I'll be posting the chapter later today and I hope you enjoy it and as me appreciate this story as nothing but fiction.
