Just know I appreciate the vivid telling of your story as much as I'm horrified by the suffering and injustice. The last line of your story here is amazingly powerful. Thank you.

And I know these places, many of them, here in Chicago. I keep wondering if I ran into you, or could have helped. Sorry you had to go through this all, but glad you survived, brother. Powerful words, Stephen. Guess I need to pick up TAD. Keep up the great work. Peace, Richard Neo-noir Man, this makes me want to cry. And I know these places, many of them, here in Chicago.
