What is pain? What is suffering? Life, the ultimate test. The world is covered by sad faces, sad people, and they are here as well.
My father always wanted the best for me.
Back before the war, I had a soul...
I was bitten by the music bug at a young age. It buried beneath my skin, laid it's eggs, only to eat my soul away. For 20 years I have played jazz.
Then along came the damn hippity-hop and it drained the emotion. It sterilized, it castrated my music and left me alone and pitiful in the dark.
He gave me every toy I ever wanted and a decent college education.
But all that crumbled into ruin when I was drafted. My mother cried the day I left. My father stared, solemnly. I came back from the war addicted to 17 different drugs.
I loved her. I loved her like no man ever loved a woman before.
I made myself into something... Yet I feel like nothing now that he's past.
There is but a deep, dark abyss in my chest.
She left me cold and alone.
Alone, and pitiful in the dark.
My father.
I loved her.
Back before the war...
