The year was 2007 the Democratic and Republican National Committees had, after a great deal of behind the scenes negotiations and arm twisting, come to terms on the selection of their candidates for the office of the President of the United States. For the Parties a great deal was at stake. To the victor would go the spoils; and in America the spoils were unimaginably great. Campaign money was abundantly available, thrown about like water by the lobbyists for the special interest groups. Though each Party talked up what they stood for, and would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to convince the voters of this, the voters found no matter which Party was victorious little changed, all the campaign rhetoric seemingly forgotten. All the while America's greatness continued to slide downward, much in the way all past great empires had. Now faced with a serious downturn in the economy a growing level of dissent and restlessness was in the air, as an ever greater number of people were having difficulty getting by.

DRIVE-BY SHOOTING IN HARLEM two dead one in critical condition "Why, why would you want to do this? Haven't you been following the news, there have been gang related shootings and killings in that area. You can't get a taxi driver to go there ... even the police stay away from there, if they can.

They say time heals all wounds ... theyre wrong. The emptiness is still there as are the guilts. The passing of time has not lessened either. My name is Kirk ... Kirk Crane. Im big. Six-two the last time I was measured; maybe more now. To look at me youd think I was skinny. Youd be mistaken. Im two hundred and sixteen pounds of bedrock muscle. I can kill with guns or my hands and I have. What Im trying to say is Im not the type of person you would want to have a confrontation with. My friends, what few there were, found this comforting. My enemies, and there were many, did not feel the same. The hard thing is not knowing what you want to do ... the going back and forth with indecision. This was not my problem ... I had made my decision ... I knew what I was going to do.
