I had many important things to do in my life, like walking my Jessica to school, help Carol cook, but now I can’t even watch my daughter take her first steps. I was planning on buying mama a car so she didn’t have to walk much but………..she left me. I loved mama she had always taught me the right things, I didn’t even smoke once in my entire life, I guess killing a person was too much for mama to live with the fact that she raised her child to be a murderer. But I never thought mama would ever leave me, Why god? Why?…..
I had a good Job back in the past, talking about my job. There was Mark, he was a person who would sell his wife for money. He would do anything beyond the unthinkable for money. I don’t know how but somehow I was persuaded into becoming his partner, but how long could I trust a man with no dignity and self-respect. He started stealing my ideas and presenting it for himself, I was left behind ice cold he always got the promotions and I was the one who was demoted, that’s when I started disliking him.
When I started thinking things couldn’t get any more worse, it did Mark got into more serious buisness, A criminal buisness “Drug Dealing”, I tried stopping him but he wouldn’t listen so I gave him a little bit of advise not to involve me, I told him the word drugs brought the shiver in my body. I should have known better than to trust a criminal, but I really didn’t think he would have ever involved me.
Involvement destroyed my life, he framed me, that was all there to it. Life isn’t fair people say never really knew why they said that.
I remember it perfectly because it was Jessica’s birthday, Monday morning looked outside perfectly sunny day outside kids playing around neighbours washing their cars, I never even thought it would have been the worst day of my life.
Someone Knocked on the door, I opened the door it was Mark holding a package he seemed in a hurry, he had a package in his hand he told me it was a package from work. He left in a hurry, I didn’t bother opening the package because I was busy baking a cake for Jessica’s birthday.
I was just about to get started but there was a knock on the door, I opened the door two policemen with a search warrant, I told them to be free and search around the house because I was so sure there was nothing there, when suddenly the package came into my head. They opened it, it was….. it was cocaine, I was arrested and had the right to remain silent and I did.
In the court, I had no defencive proof that the package wasn’t mine because it had my name allover the package, I was convicted guilty.
For the crime I never even commited since then my life has taken a u turn its not the same.I was sentenced for six months, six months of my life just wasted.
After a day or so, my wife came for a visit with an unpleasant news about my mama, she had been admitted to a hospital because she suffered through an heart attack, I really wanted to be there but couldn’t I was in prison.
The six months passed shortly, I had waited for the moment for a long six months, I was so thrilled that I was going to see Carol and Jessica again, but when I got out I was surprised carol didn’t come by to pick me up, I thought she probably must have forgotten. I took a cab and got home I knocked on the door to find mark answering the door, it was like a lightning had struck me and I was left unconscious. I shouted Mark???. Carol confronted me she said “oh John” like I was just a visitor, I replied “I think we need to talk” , “I sure we do” she replied.
I thought I was never going to hear such a thing from Carol, she told me she didn’t want to be with me anymore, that Jessica couldn’t have a criminal as her dad, the one person I trusted just backstabbed me. She even said Mark was her future man and just slammed the door on my face. Tears came tumbling down my face, the emotional damage on me was unbearable, I was left strounded. No one employed me because of my criminal record, I had nowhere to live and I no longer had a family. I felt that the world didn’t want me no more but I wasn’t going to lay back.
There was only one thing to do “REVENGE”.I thought of Jessica she didn’t deserve such crook as her dad so I had to something about it. Next morning, I bought a gun, I went back to the house knocked on the door luckily it was Mark that answered, I shot him down…………
I had done what I wanted to, I had nothing else to prove so I waited there next to his filthy body till the police arrived.
Now I’m back in the cell sentenced for life.
“Life, life its miserable “ they say now I know why.
I have to live with the fact I won’t see Jessica anymore its just painful, but I lie back in this black cell, with no presence of happiness, nor god.
I just lay back and just wait till my life ends………..
