Chapter 1: No Regrets
Saturday, June 09, 2007
The humming of his bicycle was the only sound Jeremy heard as he rode through the trees looming overhead in brilliant shades of red and pink. It was a balmy autumn day and he loved taking rides in the afternoons. It helped him clear his mind, remind him of what his plans were, and focus on what needed to be done. Sure, he was only the head manager of a local McDonalds, but it was a job not to be taken lightly. He didn't intend to stay at McDonalds forever, just until he got his college finished whenever that would be.
The occasional ruffling of leaves occupied his bicycle clatter while he thought about his past. No regrets. That seemed to sum up his life. He had no regrets, nothing that he wished to change. Not many people could say that, but he said it with pride. Sure, he came out of many bad relationships tarnished, but that only made who he was today, and he was proud of the man he was today. He had done certain things, that if he were caught, could land him in the slammer; but, he hadn't been caught, and that was all that mattered to him.
He was drifting slowly up to his house when he noticed that something wasn't right, he had a buzzing in his ears, and he suddenly felt dizzy. He stumbled off his bike before he crashed and caught himself on the ground. His entire body began to throb in white-hot pain. It felt as though someone had flicked a switch that released thousand of bees around his body stinging every one of his nerves. His breath became labored and he slowed faded from consciousness into a black hole.
