    Chapter 3

    It seems that this was going to be a long process to get Billy back to somewhere close to normality. I wonder where he slept while he was in the park. “Billy, did you sleep in the park?” He thought a while, then shock his head no. He took my hand and led me to a small church, walking around the back, he opened a door leading to steps going down into what appeared as a basement. In one corner, he showed me a mat and a small box. Picking up the small box, he handed it to me. I opened the b

    Yes, it takes a man with a big heart to become involved with someone like Billy

    It takes a certain person to rise to that challenge. For some reason, Mark has picked up the shield

    I hope that Billy develops a trust with Mark, and begins to open up to him.

    Billy is still a mystery to Mark. Billy not speaking makes it difficult to gather any information.

    Chapter 2

    I rushed back to the office, “Nancy, they arrested Billy. I'm going to the police station and see if I can get him out.” When I arrived at the police station, I saw Billy sitting in a room with a police officer. Billy just sat there, I really don't think he knew what was going on. “Sergeant, could you tell me what the charges are against Billy.” “Who's Billy, I have no one here named Billy” “He’s that young man in that room with the police officer”. “His name is Billy? When I

    Your words to my heart. Thank you for commenting. They not mean much to some people but to this old man, they mean a lot. Peace

    Chapter 1

    You're right. There was no reason for Billy to be arrested. I always wondered why there are people who feel they have a right to interfere.

    Chapter 1

    Billy represents a lot of the boys who have a traumatic experience that leaves them without any desire to continue their life. Let's see if someone who cares can make a change for Billy

    Yes, I can see how that would confuse you.

    You are right, Billy didn't say anything. I think the term shell shock is of mob genre. I'm an old man, in years not in mind. 🙂

    Chapter 1

    This is a new approach for me. Although there are gays in this story, Mark isn't gay. Billy is a lost soul, Mark has taken it upon himself to help him find his soul.

    Chapter 1

    Upon graduating from college, I had earned a bachelors degree in a double major, accounting and computer science. With a small inheritance, I started my own accounting business, focussing on small businesses. After five years, I was quite successful. I purchased a townhouse on the North side of the community park with my office being on the South side of the park. I developed a habit of walking to the office, it was good exercise and it save me from having to buy a car. My townhouse had two

    Prologue

    Billy, like many of our soldiers, returns home, shelled shocked, missing someone, wandering around, waiting for what he finds to be a relief, death, until one person takes an interest in him. Will it be enough, will Billy begin to live again.

    You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. I wish it was a true story rather than fiction. Maybe one day a story like this will be a biography, instead of fiction. Cheers
