The two girls who lived next door had called the cops, knocked down
the rickety door, and sprayed so much pepper spray in Nicky’s eyes
he was now legally blind. He was arrested and brought to the same
jail as Tommy.
Nicky had built an empire of his own. His girlfriend
lured women to his skivvy apartment and terrible things happened that
were sold on VHS tapes to equally skivvy guys for 19.95USD. Nicky’s
actions were horrific. Twenty years to life worth of horrific.
He was
plastered all over papers and news broadcasts nationwide. I never
knew he had a dream. I certainly never knew he had the initiative to
accomplish something worthy of headlines. Maybe it’s sentimental,
but I never thought he could hurt people like that. I really never
thought he could hurt me like that. He had been the first one,
outside my family, to love me. What did that say? Had I hurt him so
badly? Had I ruined his life in such an irrevocable way that this was
what he had become?
He was a monster and I felt responsible.
