From The Trenches To 911

By Shawn E. Jackson

People never understand your pain until your pain become their pain. They have to experience and go through what you've already been through to see exactly how you feel and felt. Only then will they truly understand.

Milan Ryan was a well-educated young man who survived the trenches, better known as the streets of New York City, and escaped the hood by going to school, graduating college, and doing what was needed of him. Love wasn't his friend, and all he ever knew was his parents, but when they died, he was forced to face the world alone and live on his own while his brother Montez schemed, scammed, and killed anyone that got in his way even if that meant going against his own brother.

Zion Unique Ramirez, who went by the name Smoke or the famous tat ZU (Zoo), was a part of Montez's organization until he finally decided to boss up and be his own man. That move came with losing the love of his life, or so he thought as well as going up against people he never thought he had to. Being on top was his only goal, but he learned hard, valuable lessons while trying to get there.

Worlds collided, loyalty was tested, and trust was null and void, which left Milan hospitalized and fighting for his life, not to mention regaining his strength and learning how to walk all over again.
These trials and tribulations had Milan wanting everyone who crossed him to feel the pain, emotions, and betrayal he felt, so he started by taking away the things people loved. Nothing and nobody were off limits.

They say New York is a place where dreams can be made, but it's also where bodies fall daily. Find out who was left standing when family ties aren't always the strongest and friendships can easily be broken.
