Innocent but "proven" guilty

It is a winter day, January 2, 1996 to be exact and things were to be a normal day as it would usually have been, but I guess today was going to be different. It was to be a day that changed many peoples lives, it would change my life and I being only 4 or 5 years old would have no idea what great an impact that day would have in my life.
They leave for the town of Divine and stop at the place that it was supposed to happen. It was called off though, so all the plans of everyone cooperating with the plans were called off. But he didn't care and both of those women knew what he was planning to do once he got to the store.
He gets off the truck and walks inside the store as everything were normal, gets the gun out argues with the YOUR friend and shoots him in the head. YOU get out of the car and run inside to see what happened, he threatens YOU with his gun, so YOU work with him, YOU help him take the money and take the surveillance video and both of you leave.
They take YOU for questioning and make YOU believe that YOU knew everything that was going to happen. They tell YOU that it is fair and YOU will like, they make YOU look like the monster and not a helpless person who got caught up with the wrong person. No one will admit to their faults in all of this and the fear of being wrong in what they have done has made them blind to any real human compassion.
YOU now sit in a cell with only one hour to bath and to be "outside," YOU are being punished for something YOU did not do... but we the people of TEXAS are selfish can only care about others when it is convenient for us.
This Spring Break I met your sister, she opened my eyes to how real this is for people, your story has become more than just a class project for me, I have now made it a goal for me to do as much as I can to help you get out of death row.

THE LAW PARTIES- guilt by association, in the state of Texas a person who had nothing to do with a crime what so ever can be charge with death as long as they were at the scene of the crime and know the person that committed the crime...

I, her, you

Here is a story for you.

 she is the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on.

But something is changing now, she isn’t the same person that she once was and I guess I am not either but she is losing her sweetness, bitterness consumes us when we talk and there is a dark cloud that seems to be forever floating on top of us for no apparent reason. I stop to breath now though and I cant, it is like the cloud is now a storm which is now picking up dust and choking me. Our shelter? I cannot find, but she seems to already be there some how, now it is just me on my own… there must be a way out of it, there just has to be, but I am not finding it. I am being followed by a group of men who are watching my every move, it is a truth that I cannot escape, I am accepting that fact, I can see myself moving on to find her regardless of the eyes that are watching my back. Soon I will have to tell her that she is not alone, not there is another because there wont be… but simply that there has be a shift in the alignment of things. I can only pray to find her sitting down however so that she may run into my arms once more. But as of now it feels like we are both walking in total darkness, alone, and not worried about the other person. Our bodies are cold, it is quiet, it is…
