Jessie never knew what to expect when she came home one summer afternoon and found her Dad in the living room crying and looking miserable while upstairs, her Mom was paying the price for a gambling debt her Dad had accumulated. That summer afternoon was a day that changed everything in her household. From the moment Morris Knight enrolled her and her Mom into being part of his pimp harem, a whole new lifestyle was open to her. From that moment, she stopped being Daddy's little girl.
I was born in 1984, about a mile from SLAUGHTERHOUSE 5, close to where A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN. My father was murdered IN COLD BLOOD when I was about two. He was killed by some UNDERWORLD thugs who were known round the barrio as THE GANG THAT COULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT. My mother, a BLACK DAHLIA, couldn't handle me, so I spent much of my years growing up inside GIOVANNI'S ROOM. At the age of fifteen, I fell in love with a sassy LOLITA; we spent much of our weekends flying kites in the places WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD, and it was around that time that I met MAURICE, who would later become an undying friend, but fifteen years later, he got afflicted with THE SHINNING and his body got washed up in the MYSTIC RIVER.
