Jojo over heaven

But all that had nothing to do with it. And what I said about how she
would have minimized the damage if only she'd stayed quiet, I think that may
not have been so.
So he began to hit me without any significant reason.
He was always irritated.
He was constantly in a bad mood.
He was so violent that he was unable not to take his anger out on
something.
In order to create strong zombies, I found many wicked people--- Like
Jack the Ripper, for example. But even compared to that famous villain, my father
was by no means inferior.
He was a hopeless thug.
He was a stingy low-life, but when I think of just how strong a zombie he
would have become had I turned him into a zombie, I think how that man truly
was the father of me, Dio.
Though just thinking that is discomforting.
Anyhow, that man was a foolish man who had an inferiority complex
even towards his wife and children---- It would not have been strange if he'd lost
his life after living it in nonstop violence.
What I did to escape my father's violence was, at the time, work. I
worked, I earned money, and I used that money to give my father liquor.
When he was drunk, his violence was all the more impossible to restrain,
but if you ignored that and let him keep drinking, then he would eventually drink
himself unconscious.
And of course, my father could not commit violence towards me if he
was asleep.
Nonetheless, I was a child.
Even though I call it work, it wasn't legitimate work at all, of course---
but in that savage town, it had its own savage system. Even if they weren't
legitimate, there were many jobs to do.
