I’m a doctor, not a fighter.
Too bad in my town being a doctor means conscription to the frontline.
War? What war? I’m not talking about war—I’m talking about the gangs.
They swept into our town and took over, leaving violence in their wake. Some people think we’re better off with armed men patrolling the streets and the corrupt mayor locked up in his pretty mansion, but they don’t see what I see. They don’t spend mornings and nights patching up the old men who were shot defending their land, the young children who got caught in the crossfire, the prostitutes just trying to eke out a meagre living.
No, that’s me. The doctor.
I would do anything to get the gangs out of my town. Meanwhile, my sister seems to be inviting them into our lives. I’m regaled with constant stories about her exploits, each one worse than the last.
I know she’s just doing whatever it takes to survive, but she’s going to get both of us killed.
As always, I’m the one who has to take responsibility.
I’m Savannah Benoit, and this is my story.
