-Philippians 4:8
Before you begin . . .
These stories are about people. They're about prison. Some are about people in prison. They're about life, including death. Sometimes they're about doing life. I'd be a liar if I said they weren't also about "the system." They're about God. I'm not a theologian. I'm not a spiritual giant. I'm a stumbling student of life. I'm a sinner. I'm a mistake-maker. I'm a young man, trying-sometimes easily, sometimes desperately-to make sense out of my own little slice of existence.
These stories are my perceptions. Nothing-not prison, death, or life-is black and white. Depending on who you are and where you stand, literally and figuratively, you see shades of gray. This book is gray.
Had a young man named Bart Ennis and I not gotten into a fight on the night of July 26, 1986, had I not caused his death, had I not gone to prison, none of this would have been written. There is more than one side to every story. It would be callous to pretend this is different.
When I quit alcohol and other drugs, it was suggested I make amends to the people I had harmed while I was drinking and using drugs. My list was long. To amend is "to improve" or "to better." The harm I did Bart is irreversible, but I'm still alive and so are you, and we're both a part of humanity, and we can try to improve or better our little corner.
These stories, written from my point of view, are in memory of Bart Ennis. Bart, I have something to tell you: I'm sorry. I wish I could change that night. Please forgive me.
The following pages contain stories. Nothing less, nothing more. They are yours.
