Elmer Fulton

I haven’t slept well in years I’ve seen too e it for the world It’s early, the sun is barely up, but I a down the street on ive a fuck that the exhaust is loud as hell in the quaint neighborhood I live in I feel free when I’m on my bike and I don’t care that it’s obnoxious as hell I could live in the clubhouse of the Endless Knights where I am an officer, but that place is bleak, even for a lonely fuck like ht the burbs would be better, but I rong There are nosy neighbors as far as the eye can see and I can’t stand that shit I grew up around that and I should’ve known better There’s a lot of things I should have known but I am more of a hands-on learner

I’ve been on my own for twenty-two years now Over the years, I have had ait, but I always looked the other way I tried to date over the years, just looking for so, soer All the woht formy time on women eren’t the one made for me My work made it easy to not think about woot here I often think about how all this happened It’s so very different from the early years of my life My parents were ministers and from day one I was just an accessory to their perfectly fake life My father and I never saw eye to eye We all knew it, but it was an unspoken thing in our sad, oppressed household As an only child, I was lonely I learned long ago to accept my lot in life At school, I was ostracized for ious cult parents, so I was pretty much alone there too When I was fourteen, a fellow outcast froazine My father found it before I could hide it He beat et a chance to look at the da off about hell and daot her punches and vicious words in too This wasn't the first time this had happened, but it was the worst I learned early on ould happen if I broke the rules I also knew enough to know that he had cops in his back pocket and he'd never get in trouble Men like him never do Not unless some outside force takes matters into their own hands I didn't know entities like that existed but now I do I'll ad afroet out When hty six dollars and seventy seven cents I had rass, as well as all the cash hly, and hightailed it out of there in the inally fro if Iwould be okay I hitched rides froerous now that I know better, but somehow, I made it as far as Alabama without incident The truckers didn’t ask any questions and I didn’t stay with anyone for too long

In Alabaham, I found a no tell motel and forked over the twenty-three dollars plus tax for the night and bolted s vividly I had taken a seain, and laid down on the questionable bed So sounds in the room next door Like a duri the room They were covered in tattoos and the back of their jackets had a skull and knives on it
