Fiction
I did something really bad. It's extremely awful. By the time you read my letter I'll probably be dead or in jail. Well, it all started when I was in elementary school. I was always gifted in math and science. I always had leadership skills helping my teachers with STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) classes. I helped some of my teachers organize our STEM clubs. Oh how I wish I could go back in time. I prayed to make it to 30 but I don't know now. I did do a few things right. I went to school to be an engineer and landed a job making a lot of money that I wasn't prepared for. I did go back to mentor kids from the neighborhood I grew up in. I was living in the fast lane. I had a security clearance that allowed me to work at the White House. Washington DC was my second home. I was in the circle of politicians, musicians, and straight up ballers.
When people found out about some of the stellar inventions I created, everything quickly changed. I started to create illegal jamming devices for the elite. Yes, it went straight to my head. You couldn't tell me I wasn't the man because in my eyes, I was. I started snuggling up very closely to arrogance and manipulation. Everything you do in this life has consequences. My mom used to always tell me I was going to reap what I had sown if I wasn't walking up right. I was living right in my mind. At least I helped out my family. I am a generous man. I was being set up by my own downfall but I couldn't see it. The strange thing is, the state I am in right now has nothing to do with my rich friends or even the mob I helped out. I am hiding and running for my life due to a small favor I did for an old high school buddy. Lamont wanted me to create an RF jammer for him to prank his girlfriend. I thought it was a funny request plus I did owe him. I was able to jam cars, radios, televisions and pretty much all major appliances. All of this was a violation of the FCC.
Lamont's dad Mitchell was a cop. I guess Lamont mentioned to his dad that I had made an illegal jammer for him. His dad wanted me to create a jammer for his best friend Stephen who also was a cop. I honestly didn't think anything of it. They paid me for the device and I made it. Those two guys were not made for serving and protecting. Lamont got into a bad fight with his dad one day and he wanted to vent to me. He said his dad Mitchell and his dad's best friend had been robbing folks. He also told me that his dad's friend Stephen only wanted to get the illegal jammer to prank his neighbor. He said his dad and Stephen were illegally going in the woman's house moving stuff around in her house so she would think it was a ghost or something. He wanted the woman to move for some reason. I certainly wasn't down with that. Things started to get ugly. All I could think about was my mom, my niece and my sister. What if men did that to them? I was like, Lamont's dad and his friend are criminals. Then Lamont said his dad made him do things as well. He claimed his dad had some other dirt on him. Lamont wanted out! He said the FBI was watching him and had questioned him about the woman his dad Mitchell and his dad's best friend was jamming and pranking. He was afraid for his life. I was nervous. He didn't tell me the woman they were doing that to was connected to family members and friends who worked in the courts and law enforcement. Yeah, like the FBI. She also had a family member who worked in Washington DC at the FCC.
A few days after I spoke to Lamont he was in a bad accident and he passed away. I was getting information from my highest clientele that someone was out to get me, other than the FCC, for making the illegal RF jammer. Lamont told me that Stephen had been using a jammer on his neighbor for years. I was thinking how did I get caught up in this. A few weeks after Lamont passed away, his dad and the dad's best friend were missing. I was so terrified. I still am. Now I am on edge. I can probably pay the fines to the FCC but I don't want to go to jail or come up missing. You never really know who people know or who they are connected to. I am feeling very uncomfortable right now. Please pray for me because I know I got it coming.
Have you ever been involved in doing something you regretted?
