Fractured “What happened? Where am I? Who am I?” I wake up in a hospital bed. The very first thing I did was… fall down from the bed. “I’m fine. Huh, there isn’t a soul here. Ahh, good thing there’s nobody here to know that but me.” I got up and tried to find something about me in the room.

nurses stopped what they were doing and looked at him and then at each other confusingly. “What did you just say?” MJ huffed, blowing out steam from his anger that was building up inside and forming enraged from the thought of seeking revenge on the nigga who’d done that to him. “My daughter, Marlorana! I need to know if she is okay, now!” MJ said in a confused and menacing tone. Both nurses looked at each other again and this time the older black lady spoke up. “Honey, from what I read in the…

proudly displayed. My happiness faded as quickly as it had come, dreadful thoughts overtaking my positivity. “How did it go with Mary Jane?” I stuttered indefinitely, nervously awaiting an answer. “Virg, I tried. I went to talk to her but…” “But what?” I whimpered, mildly ashamed as to how vulnerable I was. “I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She just looked so pitiful. You know that she just lost her job, right? Virginia, I think that we should wait.” “How can you say such a thing Peter?…
