I got out of the tub, he was just pulling up and my contractions had become more intense, persistent, and longer. I went and let him in when I abruptly felt a huge gush of warm fluid run down my leg.

I liked video games and Pac- Man, loved "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", tried my hand at the Rubik's cube, and was concerned about the USSR and nuclear war. Oh yes, I,like millions of other teenagers loved good rock music and was just beginning to…

When I heard the words “ He has no mother. He has no skates “ I felt like shattering glass as I realized that Jerry lied to me. As I snapped out of it I told the lady what way did you see him go last. She replied “ I don't know “ I ran outside yelling his name like a crazy psychopath.
