Rise of San

by Japlin Cureton

Will San ever rise to the top or will the despair continue to plague her life and bury her alive? San was raised by the treacherous streets of Charlotte North Carolina – Queen City. She had been introduced to a life of despair at an early age. Her mother Wanda had been responsible for all the pain she would soon endure. San had been subjected to her mother's evil deeds and had been forced to adapt to unbearable environments. She had gone through many nights without heat to keep warm; much less food to fill her stomach…but that never stopped her from loving her mother Wanda. San's mother would do anything to get high and she often turned tricks in the next room. She even tried to trade her daughter's innocence just to get some dope. As time passes, San's life would forever change, but not for the better. Witnessing her mother's murder as she sat hiding and scared in the next room and not knowing what to do, would give her the option of living with her father Jake. Sharing a wonderful father / daughter bond during her younger years, would soon come to a stop as San reached her adult years – as she began to show interest in the same sex, something her father Jake never approved of. Shunning and kicking her out to be on her own, the streets became her main family. Forming a pack with a two guys by the names of Corey and Coley, (later calling Major League), they caused havoc everywhere they went. They began robbing others until everything would unfortunately come to an end. San found herself locked up in prison and plans were put on hold. Upon her release, her “new plan” was to take over the streets of Charlotte and become the first Queen Pen.
