“I was fourteen and in eighth grade, worrying about school, stupid teenager stuff. Then at 11:30 we heard something breaking, and lots of shouting. He was yelling to himself about death and the grim reaper, and about burning the house down. We had to call our mother, then she had us call the police. We barricaded the bedroom drawer with a dresser and the police had to break in through the window to get us out. Even the operator on the phone was crying — we thought we were going to die.”

School to College and from College to getting a job. Getting a job
and paying all of the bills and taxes. That’s scary.”
