decisions"..the kid who was shot..his fam was cryin..tryin to dismiss him..tryin to forget him..but was too hard cuz they knew
they would fa'ever miss him..but at the same time glad cuz the killer was found and in addition..would spend time..his
whole life in aviction..these terrible pictures came up in numerals..6 bullet holes were covered so noone would see this
at the funeral.."he was a good boy"..his mother discusses in front of the local priest..as she continued he just nods his
head..as if he really knows these things.."he never deserved this..why God? was this a purpose? Did u mean to create this
child so he could forever furnish in an eternity furnaced?"..the preacher lets her talk.."go ahead..let it out".."how could
