Paul Ceretto
On September 8th of 2008, after a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse, Paul fell from a building to the concrete below. He laid dying for over eight hours. After he was resuscitated, he spent over a week in a coma. He resurfaced from unconsciousness with a traumatic brain injury. “I have had two lifetimes in one over all existence,” Paul says. For the next six months, Paul would spend time in 3 different hospitals gaining back the basic functions of life. It was at this time Paul made a conscious decision to change his life. “When this kind of tragedy happens to most people, they fight to get back the life they had. I had no life to get back too. So I created one,” Paul says. Paul found that writing was his way of coping with what happened to him. He took a year after he left the hospital to write his story. It was at this time he discovered his destiny. “My goal is to sculpt well written entertaining stories. I strive to build bridges of emotion from writer to reader. I work for the reader so they can gain as much happiness reading them as I have writing them.”

Dave
I heard he died. It put to rest a lot of wondering about him. We lost touch. He moved to Madison, while I moved further from myself. He was one of the guys I could relate to in that era of my life. The AA era, the bullshit era, the era time and the brain injury don’t let me forget, because I am left with old memories, as the new ones don’t seem to stick.
Before I met Dave, he had drunk himself blind. He was in a wheel chair because of his kidneys. He had received a kidney transplant, his mother’s. He once told me he drank on his mother’s kidneys, he figured he had new ones now so…
He was a no-bullshit guy, kind of an asshole, used to piss people off. I liked him right away. Whether on the streets or in drug rehab, I always gravitated toward the harsher people, the dramatic types. I now understand it is because of the emotional buzz. That buzz, like the drugs themselves, is an intense
