    About this ebook

    I wake in the morning and the first thought that whirls thru my brain is-
    ‘I’m going to fucking die poor. And not just monetarily poor, but mentally as well as physically poor.
    What fucking shit is this piss assed day going to shove down my already bile filled throat?’

    This first story is the journey of a man caught in a hell he calls life.

    A dead end job, a friend who he works with that he loves and hates all at the same time.

    A man who finds himself drinking too much, taking pills to function, and hating every thing that everyone with status has and stands for. The ones who look down on him and use him up.

    What he has to do to make this only life he has as bearable as possible.

    Drinking, drugs, sex, and the shit work he has to do are all this poor bastard has. Luckily he has a course sense of humor.

      A Journey I Can't Escape - J.B. Galui

      A Journey I Can’t Escape

      By

      J.B. Galui

      Opening:

      Anhhhhhh!, again I wake. Yeah, I wake to another bright, early, sunny morning. The array of birds chirping outside the window usually grabs my attention. It’s really cool at night this time of year so I keep the windows open and the air circulating, sometimes with a fan. The hum of the fan usually helps me sleep, well at first anyway. But sometimes those damn dogs next door bark all fucking night. I need to mention the neighbor. What a jackass he is and the owner of those barking mutts. They are craving the company of their master, who is hardly every home. And when he is, puts them out in the morning, with a little food & water, but then never comes back home for a day or two. The poor bastard dogs are hungry, probably thirsty too. But that’s not my concern is it? I mean I don’t own them. I didn’t take on the responsibility to love and feed and play with them, and get my ass home every night to make sure they’re taken care of, did I? Well I do throw scraps over the fence a lot, I mean I’m not that goddamn cold hearted, at least not as much as their asshole owner. I hate the fucking barking at night, but I think I hate the fucking neighbor a hell of a lot more.

      As I was saying, I wake in the morning with those damn birds, the ones who seem to be taunting me,

      ‘Get up asshole, we’re up so should you be, you lazy human load.’

      And the first thought that whirls thru my brain is-

      ‘I’m going to fucking die poor. And not just monetarily poor, but mentally as well as physically poor. What fucking shit is this piss assed day going to shove down my already bile filled throat?’

      But such is the start in a day of this fucked up life.

      Chapter 1:

      So along with the barking, the birds, the neighbors, and the shit that rolls around in this orb I call my head, is the sweet smell of the freshly brewing coffee. Thank God for the brilliant bastard that invented the programmable coffee maker. I
