In another life Marc Love would be a rapper. Maybe he'd be called Dr. Love. Maybe in another life, his alter ego would be the Green Man and he'd get bread every day. But a different type of bread, one that wouldn't sustain him. He would never have found dancing,...

That particular day the sun peaked through his blinds sending out sun beams all around the room. These nudged him awake before his alarm. He got up catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror he did one of his old moves. A sort of jazz hands. This he hadn't...
