by the summer of ‘79, they had to sever ties prematurely; elaine burrows was dead, murdered – perpetrator at large.

shep was caught in a viscous situation. he was spiraling – spiraling like a deranged tornado. he was in between cocaine, alcohol and his makeshift blade. he was failing his own code: 'don’t become like your mother’s side of the family.' he has a reputation that could thin out with the swiftness of a butterfly knife. he was the breadwinner, yet, was so close to his mother, how could he not fall?

shep started to get into more fights; with danny, with his parents, with everybody. it began with verbal threats, then physical violence. he started to hit harder, use others as his punching bag like he had before, but in a twisted, newfound rage type of way. he would speed in his ford, a red bullet scaling dirt roads.
