Chapter One

One does not remember much from when they were ten years old. That I remember a specific moment in time so clearly, in so much detail, is a testament to it's importance. I play it in my head occasionally. Trying to see what I missed. Trying to discover the telltale hints of treachery and falsehood. Trying to convince myself that if I had not been so stupid, so naïve, none of this shit would have happened.
