` the vigilante :: BOOK ONE of SIX by pehn -
Summary:

The Vigilante is the first of six installments in my 6 Degrees of Separation Anthology. Everybody has seen, heard, of read about the six degrees of separation. We all know somebody, who cousins, brother, baby mamas, aunty is second cousins once removed to Michael Jackson. But I don't think we realize how close this seemingly small separation truly makes us. Too often we separate ourselves, allowing our egos to place us on a pedestal like our ****doesn’t stink. So many people don't realize that they're two paychecks away from beings just as poor as the herione addict they turn their nose up at. They don't realize that the nice doctor who everyone loves puts them all in direct lineage to convicts, murderers and drug dealers because the only way he made it through the pile of bills in medical school was to sell drugs on the side. Everyone has a story, a past, a defining moment that changes the very essence of who they are. Looking in from the outside it’s so easy to judge, but as the saying goes let ye without sin be the first to cast stones.

In the 6 Degrees of Separation Anthology, each story will have a main character and after the first book, each main character will be someone you've read about previously. 6 different stories, 6 different people, 6 different points of views, 6 different defining moment, all connected in one linage.

I'm going to do my best to add at least once a week. Sometimes it might be more, others it might be less because I do have other things that I am working on in my life. I enjoy writing, but it has been a long time since I have been able to really sit down and work on it so all that I ask is that if you read it, you comment and if you like it don't hesitate to tell a friend. Even if I don't get a lot of views I still plan to add because this isn't just something that I'm working on here, this is a real project for me and I intend to finish every book in this anthology from beginning to end. That being said, all work is mine and I would like it to stay that way. I don't think that my work is so fabulous that people will try and jack it; I just want to be able to say that I said it. That being said thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

I've made a playlist of all the music I listen to while writing that set the pace for the story. That growing playlist can be found here :: http://www.imeem.com/people/sG6VTol/playlist/vdW27hN_/the-vigilante-soundtrack-music-playlist/

` PRELUDE by pehn -

` PRELUDE

His hands were shaking as he squeezed around the neck tighter.
It was their fault, all of them. They made him do it.
He had no choice.

He tried to talk some sense into him before he popped the gun off.
They could still turn around and leave.
But it was too late.
Two shots in the dark.
Another body.

They pounded the pavement together, no sirens wailing in the background.
Not in this neighborhood.
Together they made one; there was no he without him. They were here.
Where was here? Anywhere they were when they needed to be handled.

He talked a good game, sometimes his partner actually believed in what he was doing.
In what they were doing. Maybe they weren't innocent victims.
Maybe those motherfucker’s really did deserve it.
Either way the cookie crumbled, right or wrong, good or bad they were the vigilante.

There was no turning back from that, not now, not again.
They were here to stay, he was here to stay.
He would continue to protect those who could not protect themselves.
Until his very last breath.
