If you're lookin' for a tale filled with sunshine and rainbows, this ain't it. My name's Liza, and I ain't here to paint pretty pictures or tell you how life's a bed of roses. My story's woven from the shadows, muck, and trash of this world. It's about the streets that chew you up and spit you out, where survival means runnin' fast and trustin' no one.

So, if you're turnin' these pages, don't say I didn't warn ya. This ain't a story of hope or redemption. It's a journey through the dark alleys of a broken world, where the only light comes from the fire in your gut that keeps you goin'. And if you're readin' this, I gotta wonder-who hurt you, and why d'you insist on hurtin' yourself more?

A Swing in the Park

17 parts Complete

It was the summer of 1976 when my father left us. It was a particularly memorable summer and my mother suffered terribly. My father had left her for a younger woman and moved into her apartment which was above a flower shop where she worked. My mother struggled making ends meet and got a job as a nursing assistant at Peaceful Haven, an old folks home that still exists although it is very badly run down now. Because she could not afford a baby sitter, my mother took me to work where I sat in the lounge and watched TV and read books. On her lunch breaks she took me across the street to Faulkner Park where she made out with Fred while I wandered around eating my sandwich. But I quickly grew bored. I was 8 then, a bright young girl with an active imagination. I imagined doors in the sandbox, swings into the sky, doors to another world. And in the rooms of the old lost souls were more doors only waiting to be opened. I took those souls with me on my adventures and eased their loneliness and age with my contagious eagerness to believe anything. And then a terrible thing happened to me, so terrible I could not speak of it. I was in hospital, unable to believe anymore and my old friends came to visit me and to believe for me. I am 30 now, and as I write this and look back I wonder if I still believe. And yes, I do. Believing got me through that summer and believing got my father to come home again.
