  • PROLOGUE — I DON’T FUCKING LOSE

    I DON’T FUCKING LOSE. Remember that. Tattoo it in your skull before you flip another page, because it’s the only goddamn thing that kept me alive. This book isn’t polite. It isn’t bedtime reading. It’s not Netflix drama where bad things get wrapped up in forty-five minutes with a laugh track. This is stomach-turn shit.…
