On the edge of town was a small shop that baked bread every morning Monday to Friday.

This is how we would start his day.

First a coffee. Then a cold shower. After that 30 minutes of meditation. And then he would have enough energy to make himself a quick breakfast. With a full belly he would then have the motivation to go into the bathroom, lather the...

The Kid -- Charlie Samuels -- was poor. Or more accurately his parents were. This meant Charlie had to eat a poor child's breakfast: cereal and orange juice . He ate this every morning without variation. By the time he was awake his parents would already be at the motel...
