       I've never forgotten my 13 year old life. Not a kid, nor an adult. It could have been, or should have been, the most carefree, happy moment of my life. Instead, it became my nightmare.

       I know and have seen things this generation could never understand. I know secrets no one else knows. I've become a frightened child in a shell. One that others despise. My neighbors think of me as the "creepy old man down the street". Sometimes, I start to feel the same. I wish they knew, that I was once a content teen. Only, one that had his life taken from him, deforming him to what I am now. Lance Matthews died 43 years ago.
