This is a story of a man who fathered a child and found out three years later that the mother claimed the child was her dead husband’s. The story takes place in 1993 when all hell breaks loose. It is all true and has much violence, action and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read it, as it is an all-out assault between two adults that are so angry at each other it’s a wonder they lived through it… This is “Dominance and Submission”.
Jake took the receiver from Chuck, put it to his ear, and said, “Hello?”
“Jake!” She hesitated. “I have bad news son.”
Jake was now shaking as if he had the D.T’s; what a person gets after a long night of drinking and needs a shot of what he was drinking the night before.
A drop of sweat rolled down his brow as she continued. “Cathy has been in a horrible accident on Hwy 90, just past the tunnel in Marrero”.
“You have to get out there as quickly as possible, but put Chuck back on the line please sweetie”.
Jake was stunned as he handed the phone to Chuck. “What!” said Chuck, tilting his head trying to understand what was going on.

“Let’s go man.” Chuck said as he pulls Jake by the arm out the door.
Mary falling in, locking the door behind them. Chuck got behind the wheel of the Nova, burning out as they left the parking lot.
When they arrived on the seen, Jake could see Cathy’s Corvette convertible flatened like a coke can would look if you crushed it from end to end, in the middle of highway 90. An old yellow Ford pickup thuck laying on it’s side, next to the car.
The paramedics were putting Cathy’s body in the bus. Tubes still running in and out of her as if she was still alive.
“Wait a minute” Jake said as he ran toward her, “I’m going with you”.
