Aimless Triggers

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In a neighborhood where fate and chance seem as relentless as they are unforgiving our narrator unravels the complexities of street life and survival. Trouble appears without warning sparked by anything from a color flagging out of a back pocket to an unexpected sideways glance. Yet the narrator questions if these encounters are truly random or if a divine purpose underpins them guiding individuals to become the turning points in others' lives. Despite his efforts to live righteously he observes a bitter irony: striving to be good only seems to amplify life's hardships while those living without care find their paths miraculously unblocked. Rejecting clichés he insists that his story stands apart from any typical hood story confronting the stereotypes that too often surround tales from the streets. Through a voice that is both raw and reflective the narrator invites readers to ride along experiencing the stark realities and unspoken philosophies of life in his world. With authenticity and defiance he explores the burdens and ironies of being young handsome and brown in his neighborhood making his story both a unique journey and a profound commentary on the life he's chosen-or perhaps the life that's chosen him.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
