50 years later, the missing piece of evidence was found. Lodged in the trunk of a tree, it had remained undisturbed for all that time. And during that time, an innocent man was put to death, a guilty man was never apprehended, and a community was changed forever.
You were fresh. All I ever wanted. You filled my voids. I was happy. Momentarily fulfilled. But then the drudgery of life began; the day-to-day. Work…obligations… needs. I was drained until I had no more left to give and before I knew it, you were gone.

You told me to follow so I did. Even when the path turned dark and I did unspeakable things.

Sarah stared up at the blimp. It floated gracefully across the blue sky and through the clouds. How did you get such a job? When do you realize you want to drive a blimp for your career? What did the driver’s parents think?
Sarah had always played it safe. She had wanted to be a dancer. A tap dancer. Her parents always told her to get a “bread and butter job.” Dancing was a fun hobby, not a way to make a living. Now Sarah works in Human Resources. She manages health claims and does nothing to prevent her dreams from disappearing into the clouds.

I knew driving up you had gone. Darkness where you talked of dreams. Silence where you made commitments. Emptiness where you promised me a different world. I didn’t even need to read your note, to know that you are, despite your intentions, nothing but a clown.

You arrived suddenly and unexpectedly.
You were immediately possessive.
You stomped on my heart with your heavy boots.
You left me with nothing but a footprint that will scar forever.
