This story captures the insight of a bright, intuitively smart young man who grew up in the low-income housing projects of Southeast Washington, DC, our nations capital city. His name was Jimmy Black Blango, better known as JB. He lived in the Barry Farms Housing projects at the height of a glorified drug market, in the midst of a culture of the celebrated thug life, gang violence, and mob-style crime. Aside from all that, it was a known fact that gangbangers pledged allegiance to serving time in jail. Even JB got caught up in a clean sweep operation on the streets of Washington, DC, and was sent down to Lorton to serve his time. From there, his status on the streets of Washington, DC, was upgraded to include street credits (i.e., the status of lieutenant) for serving a stench at what was once called the most notorious prison on the east coast, the Lorton Correctional Complex. Now that the prison was mandated by federal law to shut down, the criminal element on the outside decided to bring their drug enterprise on the inside. This was an effort to establish networks that reached beyond the district and extended to all points targeted south. Yet due to the pending closure of the Lorton Complex and the greed among thieves, backstabbing gangbangers, cold-blooded killers, malicious cutthroat staffers, and others caused the whole scam to blow up. At the end of the day, a nefarious culmination of unsavory conduct caused many elements of the Lorton Complex to suffer its unfortunate demise.

What if you could go back in time to change some things? What would you change? How would you change it? What if going back meant completely forgetting who you are and actually becoming your younger self, and all you could do is send yourself a message or two to help you? On top of that, it's a one-time, one-way trip, and you actually have to completely live your life all over again, with a 50% chance that the trip will make you go insane. Do you still want to try? This a story of a very different life than anyone has ever lived, because starting from age 6, Alan Hayes knows the future, or at least some of it, and he's going to try to change it as he lives his life again. But what will trying to change the future do to Alan and those he cares about? Richard Hasey was born and brought up in Bangor, Maine, where he graduated from Bangor High School. He has a BS from Norwich University, and a MBA from Babson College. After graduating from Norwich, Richard married his high school sweetheart, spent 6 years in the US Army, and earned a CPA License. Richard has written a number of technical papers over the years, and has only recently begun to write fiction. Currently, Richard is working as an independent contractor helping firms improve their compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Enron Bill). Richard became a Christian when he was in college over 30 years ago, and the Lord has asked him to do many things that have challenged his faith, some of which have been alluded to in the stories he's written. Richard and his wife Jane live in Tewksbury, MA, and are still happily married after 33 years.

A World Interrupted is the kind of book that will inspire, uplift and motivate you in ways that you could have never imagined. I admire the fact that I took stories of struggles and brought them to life and was able to inspire someone in need of a voice. I feel that most of the people reading this book could relate to some of its content or know someone who has been through similar situations. I wrote this book with faith, my heart, hard work, persistence, love, and Im truly proud of myself, the man that I am becoming, and those that God have put into my life to help me in every step of the way. If I never meet you in passing, please know that you are the reason that I continue to wake up every morning and make it my job to empower and inspire someone in this world to be the best person that they can become. I never wanted to be more than what God has planned for my life. I want to be Gods walking vessel and with that being said, I want to ask people for forgiveness in advance, if I one day act out of character or lose myself in this world trying to find the way back to who I am. We as people get so caught up in what others have created us to be that we never really have time to get to know a person for everything that they are. I dont want you to ever feel as if I am one of those people who forget that I am human or that you are human or that we all are a work in progress. My sole purpose for writing this book is to empower and inspire people, to help release any built up feelings or pain that someone may have inside them, that they dont feel like sharing it with others, or maybe they do want to share it with others but dont know who that other person is. I want to help you find yourself and know that no matter what it is that you have been through, I can relate to not only your pain, but personally to your feelings. In closing, thank you for giving me a chance because chance is the reason I am here today. I may live in A World Interrupted, but one day I know a change is going to come for us all. I will continue to pray to God for strength and courage to do my part and hopefully those of you inspired will walk away attempting to do yours. With Love, Chico DaVincci Gillum

A bizarre tale of corporate cannibalism…or a generous sacrifice for a fellow human being? All depends on your perspective.
