BY SAYDHAR BILKIS After he heard the news, Marcus knew this was the beginning of the fall. That even after a peaceful seven-year marriage that bore them two beautiful girls- Kiki and Bianca. Lola would throw everything away like it was nothing the minute she hears the news. Maybe not the exact minute, but at least she definitely would in the very short long run. This is because Marcus knew, as he had always known, that no matter how beautiful her life with him has become, he and everything he had given her would always come second place to Johnson. Johson would always be first to her, no matter what she says. She was only with him and happy because there was no Johnson but now Johnson is back. He arrived a night before with his very pregnant wife and now he was in the town square meeting the people. Marcus turned to look at his sleeping wife if only he could wish for her to sleep forever and be oblivious to this knowledge he would. She grunts something in her sleep and he shush...

BY SAYDHAR BILKIS "But I knew we were all shedding tears of happiness,  the kind you get when you know finally and certainly you are free and maybe you can begin to move on" Marcello Don Ricco . That's his name, I have become so familiar with it that I think it in my sleep. As I eat, as I shower. According to my intel, he is an amateur drug lord, a bit notorious but nothing too serious to put him on the police radar.  I bite into a baked potato as I wait patiently for Officer Micheal, the officer they that came baring my medical reports.
