"conversations" with me and Sol were primarily a barrage of put-downs and insults. He kept lists of "crimes" other people had committed, for which he sought revenge, by stealing things or just hiding them. Nothing was secure or safe at home; I didn't feel secure or safe there. Home was worse hell than the army had ever been. How can I explain how traumatic this was for me?

smell of dirt, but when I smell freshly turned dirt I know that it is summertime. It is time to go to Holiday World and have late night Sonic trips for slushies and fries with my best friends.
