Rebellion

I know it's strange that the only place I've ever really felt safe is the place other people go to get conned. I'd make friends everywhere we set up and then I'd be accused of cheating. I was always the one so easy to believe was giving away prizes. It was easier to call me a cheat than to accept that I might just be more. That one day I might make a difference. There were a few who saw it as a business,  as a retirement choice. No matter how many books I've read or how few of the people who lasted I learned to rely on. I thought I could learn to understand. I know how few had graduated from High School. I always felt at home. Well,with most of them. Some are the genuine dregs of the world. No matter how regular they might seem.
