Wrong has never been so right.Survival.It's all about the next dollar.It started out as a job, but has morphed into an addiction.Money flows and life is good.Women respond to my mere presence, begging for one more taste.I was the king, on top of the world.It was all a game and I expected nothing less than being crowned the champion.Then she waltzed into the club.And everything became dirty.©2016 HJ Bellus (P)2016 HJ Bellus
