Eternal Life

Chapter One: The Light That Knows Your Name At forty-four years old, he had learned how to walk through New York City without asking it for permission. The trains still screamed. Sirens still cut the air like broken glass. The sidewalks still tested your balance, your patience, your dignity. But he moved through it all calm, measured—like the city was a conversation he’d already mastered. He was a Black man with history in his shoulders and futures in his eyes. Harlem knew his footsteps.

  CAPÍTULO 1 CALLES Cuando estaba consumiendo drogas, sucedía cuando estaba lejos de mi familia. Eso era porque estaba fuera de la ciudad. Extrañaba a mi familia. Estaba manteniéndome firme allá afuera, mi amor. Mi mente estaba sufriendo. Después de todo, no sabía lo que era mejor para nosotros en ese momento porque no podía controlar mi corazón y mi alma cuando estaba allí afuera. Acostarme para tener relaciones sexuales no estaba en mis planes. Asegúrate de que esa persona no se mueva. Si lo hace, entonces dispara. Tengo que recordar de dónde vengo y no olvidar que matamos a la gente. Este juego no cambiará pronto porque siempre obtendremos dinero; nunca sabes lo que está sucediendo en la vida de las personas hasta que sale a la luz. La gente dice que estoy en alguna mierda. No escuches a la gente que no sabe nada sobre estas calles. Te llevarán a tu lecho de muerte. Esa mierda no me está sucediendo a mí. Tengo que estar alerta en todo momento. Recuerdo que en el pasado había muc...
