In this 4,000 or word story, the main characters and their families are the victims of illegal drug use.  They are the grandmothers, mothers, and of course the children who suffer at the hands of drug dealers and addicts.

     At the beginning of the story, the young men watch as the neighborhood drug dealers go about the business of selling.  Eventually they find a way to get even with the dealers with the unknowing aid of other rdrelatives.  

     The goal of everyone is to rid the area of drugs, period.  The point of the story eventually comes clear as one of the characters says, at the end, “As ye sew, so shall ye reap.”

     The author is influenced by the drug business going on in the surrounding neighborhoods.  The idea is that if you could find a way to punish the people, who would you do it.  These are some of the ways that it can be done realistically, but through the author’s imagination.  Sometimes anger is best expressed on paper. 

     The author has been writing for 8 years.  Many of her ideas have come from the neighborhood.  One of her stories, Traded Lives. is included in the popular  Goose River Anthology, 2009.
