Scrap Metal


Life holds lots of wonderful things and sometimes it holds things that are meant to help us learn something and make us grow.. I guess that is the spiritual side of me talking..
In 8 days it will be 12 months since I escaped from 5 years of hell..
In those 12 months I have found the person I was before I met the devils right hand man..
I have learned to overcome fear and that even though the law has tried to, it cant protect me from this person..
He told me once that I would come out from shopping one day and my car would be immobilised..
That happened, We put her on a tow truck and had her delivered home, when I could afford it I had the immobiliser fixed..
Then I came out from a long shift from work to find tyres flat, one had to be replaced...
I was starting in the very early hours of the morning, one morning my windscreen wipers are working fine, next morning they are not, taxi to work, cant drive without them in pouring rain...
When the car was checked , they found the bonnet had been pushed down near the windscreen just enough to not instantly notice but enough to stop the wipers from working..
Again the problem was fixed... Next again in the morning I discover I have no head lights..
Again taxi to work, its to dark to drive without them..
I have come out to find doors unlocked, windows slightly down...
But the last and final straw was to come out one morning to find my fuel cap open, the police arrested him trying to hide in bushes in the next street, his car parked on the corner...
The mechanic says something was added to the fuel tank, as I lost the motor...
I decided at that point that I was not going to spend the money to have it fixed, I had wanted to get rid of it for along time.. I stripped it of things I could sell and called a scrap metal yard, I could have sold it and got more money, but I wanted it destroyed....
That is the story to this layout...
I went out and bought myself the car I have wanted for several years :)
