My entry for the #homebeforedarkcontest Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? Have you ever wondered what comes after death?

A short story on Andy and the Pacu fish!

This is a story that I hope will give people the strength to keep going through hard times in their lives, when even truth seems like a mistake. I want people to know that granted I am still living through this experience and even though this story has yet to have a conclusion with the truth prevailing, there were some small stories in between that the truth has prevailed as I know it will in the end. My daughter is proof of that. Out of all of this after months of her not talking to me, finally she was able to see Jack for his B.S and came home to me. Telling me the truth hopefully in enough time to save me from prison. The truth is what saved our relationship and for anyone who knows Angel and I, She might be my daughter and being friends with your children is frowned upon, however she was always, still is, and always will be, MY BEST FRIEND!
