I know you don’t normally find out the hero of the story dies before you even start the book. If he were alive, he would say that he was no hero. Hell, until that fateful day, he wasn’t. The people who knew him will say that I am a liar. They will say that none of this could have ever happened.

My name is Jeff, and I am a lowlife as well. I am going to tell his story as I saw it, and what I saw was a hero. When faced with an impossible choice, he chose sacrifice. I can tell you I couldn’t have made the same choice. When I finish my story, I want you to ask yourself if you could have made the choice he did. If your answer is that you could not, then you are not a lesser person, but he was surely a hero.
