Ours is a small town, just over 1000 occupants on 6 streets and avenues, and three drives.
We don't have a school for our kids, they get bussed out of town to elsewhere. You would think such a small town was safe from drugs, but it isn't.
Right in the middle of the few streets and avenues is a large house. It started out as a plain small house, but every so often it got built onto. The last addition was a second floor. In the diminishing back yard is a play house with flags, just like any other house with boys might have.
And that's where the local king of drugs lives.
In our town you might see a girl, waiting at dusk by the railroad tracks, for a small package. Or, on your walk to church, you might find a pill bottle filled with green stuff. Or you might wake up early one morning to the sirens of neighbouring police cars, surrounding the house. Or you hear that your son was offered pills from a kid down the street.
We're just a small town, but big enough to have drugs!
