Description
"They can't go through what I did! They just can't!" *** Michael Jackson has endured an abundance of trauma that threatens to tear him apart from the inside out. For the young, twenty-something, he fears that his two youngest siblings will also be subjected to the cruelty that he was put through by his father now that he is no longer under the same roof. His musicality is the one thing he holds on to to distract him from his dreadful days and sleepless nights; a coping mechanism learned in therapy. With the help of his therapist, Celeste Woods, Michael is navigating his way through the pins and needles of life, trying to win the battle before they imbed themselves into his spirit, permanently. - Voted as 2022 MJFA's "Best Hidden Gem" story.
