Belonging in Alabama

I left at the age of 19. My heart is not at home anymore, and I am determined to start a new life and career in this town. My dream job - I am convinced my heart is there. I need to flee, my parents control that everything I do is not good enough, I can not tolerate their disappointment any longer. "Arkama, Alabama, I am not the way to love you, I love my horses and Pa." When I moved to town, that was great. I have not felt this feeling at home for a long time. A busy street and all the crowds brought peace to me.

I spent the evening at Wind Creek Casino and Hotel in Atmore, Alabama. This is the only place I found between Theodore and Montgomery. The casino was built on the tribal land originally belonged to Poarch Creek Indians and next to the hotel bowling alley there is a museum specialized in its heritage, which is the size of a large bathroom. The rest of the hotel's first floor has a slot machine, the elderly smoking and pushing the machine buttons side by side. It is hard to believe that there is a sad place in the free world.

As time went back to the church parking lot, more media tracks and several citizens attended the meeting and began arriving. I turned on the radio and listened to a talk show called "Armed Alabama" hosted by another former Alabama judge - the name is Rusty Johnson. Obviously, this program is about guns - deposit guns to legislators who wish to purchase guns, shoot guns and take robbers. The show is marked as Alabama, it is a blue cross and red. I suddenly thought he could shoot that night. For those who live outside the US you should know that the calculation in the United States in 2017 includes the possibility to leave the house on a particular day every day, and we will be shot that day I guess. The 300 million guns we got are locked mainly by the owner of a responsible gun or those waiting for the apocalypse.
