Johan ran like hell after pulling the triggerāheart pounding, lungs burning, blood on his hoodie. But in the end, the streets aināt got mercy. He didnāt fold when the sirens hit, but he knew it was over when that cruiser came flying āround the corner. No words, no resistanceājust dropped to the ground and let fate cuff him. That day changed everything.
After spending two long years behind bars, Johan Rodriguez steps back into the world with nothing but a duffle and a bitter taste of the system still in his mouth. The light burns his eyes, not because itās brightābut because itās real. Every second outside feels like freedom he aināt used to anymore. And this time, he ain't planning on giving it back.
The hood aināt changed muchābut Johan did. Walking past the same liquor store, same corners, same facesābut everything feel different. He made a quiet visit to someone who never got the chance to make it out. A worn photo, a few words, and a silence heavy enough to feel. Some people come home. Some stay buried. But Johan remembers them all.
Johan Rodriguez .. Wanna Be!!
