Once upon a Time


Once upon a time there were two young lovers named Romeo and Julie. They had to secretly see each other because years ago their fathers, Big Jim and Billy Bob had loved the same woman and hated each other. This woman ran off to South America because she couldn't stand either one of them. Big Jim and Billy Bob got in bar fights, restaurant fights, hardware store fights, you name it, they fought.

Both fathers had a tendency to belittle their children, which made them rebel. Romeo had shaved his head, pierced his lips, ear lobes, and had spikes implanted under the skin of his scalp. Julie had tattoos over almost every inch of her arms, her hair was atomic red with undertones of black, her eye brows were pierced as well as her naval. These two had learned to love regardless of their fathers and they swore they would love unto death.

One day while they were kissing in the back of the old fish house that Romeo’s father owned (he never went fishing), Romeo’s father walked in on them and seeing Julie (she looked just like her own father) he went into a rage and threatened to shoot the both of them. He ran into the house, called Julie’s father, and then the fireworks escalated to such a degree that Romeo and Julie decided to run for it.

They leaped onto Romeo’s moped, Julie side saddle on the back, and took off across town. Unfortunately while concentrating on the road ahead, Romeo did not notice that Julie flipped off when the moped hit a bump. She fell into an open man hole and was seen no more.

Julie’s father called the police as Julie was only 14 at the time and Romeo was 34, - “jail bait”. Needless to say, Romeo was arrested not only for child abuse, but for suspicion in the case of Julie’s disappearance. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Some years later, we look in upon Romeo. He has married the matron prison guard and has 7 children and one more on the way.

And Julie? Well, her plan worked. She got rid of the dork, moved on to California, and became a high buck call girl.
