**Spoiler**

The night was coming to a quick close. And soon we were traveling across the steaming black top parking lot where the cars seemed like tombstones in a dormant cemetery. Frozen in time, the only representations of their owners left. The world was slowly becoming more and more material. The family was replaced with the television. Susan Homebody became the modern day hooker. Johnny Fairchild became the man with the microphone screaming for the world to change with the sound of bombs blasting in an intricate melody. We were all stuck in some grandiose change that has been slipping through the cracks for generations. I grabbed at the medallion at my neck. Saint George hung bouncing off my chest with the steps I took. Poised high on his stallion ready for the final battle…and I prayed for something bigger than my own soul or the souls of the girls gabbing in the adjoining seating the small over heated Ford, but for the American soul. Watching the cars stream by with the neon lights of the stores and twenty-four hour food mongers, I realized it would take more than my prayers to save us.

            It was a brisk night. The summer breeze was fading off into the austere demeanor that was fall.   Fall was the beginning of the end. The end of freedom the end of my peace. I had lived and loved my life on the waving shores of Jersey my whole life. My brother Christopher had described it best once “If New Jersey was a woman, I would never cheat on her.” Though his words were said in a drug induced haze, it stuck with me. In my mind, I personified Jersey. It became more than a state, more than land; it became a person with its own voice and feelings. The way that the wind blew across my skin cooling my body temperature as if it was caressing me. When angered it blew cresting waves of furry and passion on our doorsteps demanding to be heard. I drew from the dregs of the cigarette that dangled lifeless from my lips. The smoke curled around me following the breeze. Jersey was my one and only home. And I was willing to fight for her.
