Chapter x 1 x IT WAS ALL A DREAM

To Ko Be survival was only meant for a select few. Not that he was a fatalist, but more pragmatic in his views. Statistics are statistics for a reason, they are numbers that nerds have compiled and crunched over a variety of subjects. Being a nerd himself, he understands the importance of carefully cataloging empirical data. Even when the data is only the whitewashed history won by gunpowder and disease. Ko Be was a firm believer that in every lie there were three truths and in every truth three lies. This line of thinking has forced him into a self-imposed exile from society. Seeing the hypocrisy and blatant misinformation of the masses led him to believe most people don't wish to wake from the dream they are in. Nevertheless he stilled held hope that one day he himself would make a change that would impact generations and not just through martyrdom. Little did he know he would unconsciously manifested exactly that.

"Ok open the door fam, it's ya boy Shakka. Open up and put the lotion down my guy."

Damn is this really how I wish to start my day!

"You the blindest fool with silky smooth hands I know!"

Bruh really pushing it right now.

"Shakka what you want bro, please don't come over here with no bull early this morning."

"Relo why you always like that ole prissy, uptight, lemon head ahh foo. I came over to tell you that I might have a lucrative business offer for you my guy."

Silence and dead eyes. After a few awkward moments Shakka becomes restless.

"Bro wassup you down or what?"

Most people would give up seeing as how little interest is given. Not Shakka. He is the epitome of iron-willed.

I remember once, when we were both just the tender age of 8, we encountered a situation that would traumatize most adolescents. Needless to say I am one of those adolescents. Not Shakka though. To this day, his stoic attitude towards mortality, enchants me in its ability to surprise me with the pinpoint accuracy of his logic. He seemed to be a sage of indifference.

* Shakka, although goofy at times, has always been a hustler. For better or worse without a doubt ends will be met. Understand that karma is what ties those two ends together. Everything will come full circle. Will you embark on a journey that will inevitably end your life or begin it anew? Y/N *
