Jimmy was a great kid.
I grew up with Jimmy. Jimmy played baseball. Jimmy kissed girls.
Jimmy went to war.
When Jimmy came home Jimmy wasn't the same. He drank everyday all day. When there was no money left to drink Jimmy drank drinks left over on the bar.
No girls wanted to kiss Jimmy anymore.
Jimmy began selling himself on the corner outside the gay bar. Men wanted to kiss Jimmy. They wanted to take Jimmy to their house and keep him in their moment of bliss.
Jimmy would steal things from them before he left their homes.
One night Jimmy prayed to God. Jimmy asked: Why? Jimmy didn't wait for an answer.
Jimmy shot himself in the head, but didn't die.
Now Jimmy sits in a chair at the Whispering Willows Convalescent Home.
Men and Women take care of Jimmy.
