The Silver Lining in Silence
Life has many decisions, different outcomes, and unexpected events that come by throughout time and space. For every minute that passes, a memory is made. And for everyday that passes, you're forced to be a lackey for a drug Lord in a city full of crime and danger that lurks around every corner... Wait, that's not a usual thing that happens?
***
New Fell City, home to many that chooses to abide by the dangers inside, or let whatever happens here run its course as long as they're not on the receiving end of a bullet. You'd think the law would do it's job, but if it's not stopping the rampage of drug trafficking, then how is it helping you?
Surely, you'd think that cracking down on the cases of robbery, death, and much more would be doing your town some justice, but not if you wind-up dead the next day. So much for being a hero. Then there's the kid who's still reading about heroes and their epic tales even in his twelfth grade year where just trying to be one will get you killed.
Jasheen Mirrors is just like anyone else out there (mostly) trying to get by in his home where even looking at someone funny will get you shot. Then again, he isn't like everyone else... To some extent. Living in the slums might give you the edge needed to work hard enough to escape this place, but not if you constantly have to fear for your existence in exchange. This is when you know something is wrong for sure.
Even still, opportunities come by everyday, and there's still a way to get ahead in life. Sure, it might be survival of the fittest, and fighting for your life will constantly be a headache, but hey... At least you got something good out of staying quiet... Right?
