My father did not leave me anything.

This is only natural, as my father did not have a penny to his name.

He did have debts, but it was within the scope of something I could

manage to come up with. Even the debts of my meager father were meager----

He gave me certain "information

If you could call that an inheritance, then I suppose you could call it

mine.

One could say that that was the one thing given to me by that man

whom had done nothing but take.----- At the very end of his life, that man, Dario

Brando, went from a being "taker" to being a "giver

That made me unhappy.

Crushingly unhappy.

The idea that at the end, he felt sympathy for the son he had so

relentlessly abused made my body feel like it would go into convulsions.

I didn't think that my mother could have gone to heaven, but I thought

my father could have.

him there so I could kill that man once again."

That's the sort of thing I thought.
