The sections and pages that lay before aren't a traditional novel or autobiographical work in a sense that they go from start to finish. This story (a term I use loosely as these were true events) can be enjoyed in any way, any order. You can read up on the people/character profiles, go straight to the scenes/sections as well as look at details of the places/environments in any order. Among the different sections and scenes, the characters, places and certain interactions have links to other pages to expound on that part, either by hovering with your cursor or clicking, yet all can be accessed from here. The goal is for the reader to feel as if they are in my shoes throughout my journey of discovering what was really happening at Millionaire Grind.
As a disclaimer, the names and places of most characters and people involved have not been changed, in order to condemn the guilty. For those curious, what you'll read were real life events, what happened to me and what I perceived was going on as best as possible. As you read you'll notice a number of "substances" involved. As far as these are concerned, I personally don't have a problem with anything that comes from the ground (unprocessed cannabis, mushrooms, etc.) as God has put these things here as plant medicine and enjoyment for us; however, once people start processing them, turning them into hard substances (coca leaves into cocaine, coke into crack, weed into concentrates and THC diamonds, etc.) that destroy communities and minds, I want nothing to do with it or the people involved. As well, after reading what I discovered, you may not want to trust anyone but yourself and your own growing abilities. Specifics of time frames are foggy due to how far removed I've been from these events, as well, how much I've tried to forget intentionally. Primary embellishment takes place with senses as well as knowledge gaps that I was never able to figure out, but rather, probabilities I pieced together were potentially happening. While our minds tend to exaggerate odd or stressful events, I've tried to stick to what actually happened in my physical world, not just what I was thinking or thought was happening. That being said, there may be potential inconsistencies along the way, specifically with times and dates, which have been kept to a minimum; as well, how I perceived my reality throughout these experiences, as I was drugged (not just cannabis, which was my own decision) at some point during the process,however, I'm unsure how far back that started.
