the rain doesn't pound on the roof the way it used to, everything is quieter now.

I'm 23 years old and $15,000 in debt because I quit my job with Xerox to take big a risk and focus on my dream of working for myself and, in a few weeks, I will be bankrupt - and this thought is the most terrifying and motivating force I've yet experienced.

The day I first saw him is a day I will never forget.

My whole life changed when I set eyes on him-- dark hair, light eyes, lovely smile... As soon as I caught his eye, I knew he'd be the first person I'd ever kill.

One moment... I was alive, breathing, living.. in a flash of a second my air arrested, time froze and i was suspended in disbelief.

It all started with a doll; a china doll with a knowing smile.
