"For Glory" (为了荣耀)

Liu Dao

Trust me when I tell you that you would have done it too. If you knew what had first driven me to this life of crime, you wouldn’t be casting me the heavy-lidded side eye that I can feel all the way from here. You know how they say not to talk trash until you’ve walked a mile in someone’s shoes? Well, don’t run your mouth when you haven’t seen what I’ve seen. I’ll do anything, risk it all, burn out trying, just to find some respite from this cruel world I’ve found myself occupying. Tonight is the night it’s all going down, everything I’ve worked for.
THWACK! Bullet to muscle.
I’m hit.
This is the end. I don’t regret a thing. I did it out of a yearning for basic human rights.
I mean, have you seen her legs? She was going to tell me if Glory was her real name or just her stripper name tonight. I tell you man, if you’d seen what I’ve seen.
