My name's Tobi Jackson, but most people call me Bug. This is my story told through my eyes and heart. It is straightforward. You will sense you are there with me. I was born in June and got my name Bug because my Momma used to call me her little June Bug.
You know, in June, there are the Fireflies that fly in the night and glow with a light then go dark - off and on. That has been my life for as long as I can remember, like the Firefly -Light and Dark, but mostly dark until that day. The Darkness began when my Momma's "J's" took advantage of me in my youth and continued until Momma died. I became homeless on the streets at the age of 14 and began my own life of the "J's". The darkness was only briefly relieved by a false sense of light supplied by the momentary euphoria from the use of dirt. That and my friendship with Chloe, my street sister. Though diverse in personality, we found kinship and friendship living with the darkness and sharing those false moments of light brought on by dirt.Then came a chance encounter that unbeknownst to me would begin contact with another "J", but one of Light, not darkness. Though I shunned it at first, a dramatic tragedy occurred that flattened me. My struggles with the dark aftermath and the false light eventually lead me to another encounter with the "J" of Light.Your heart and mind will be captured as you immerse yourself into the story of Bug.Piccolo, Normandy D.: - Hello.
