00:00I recently faced something no homeowner should ever have to utter.
00:04Three people trespassed on my property and assaulted my wife over a fence hinge they claimed violated HOA perimeter standards.
00:12I called it none of their damn business.
00:15The only thing that got reinforced was the line they never should have crossed.
00:21Let me take you back to the start.
00:23You ever witness something so wrong, so close to home, that your body just locks up?
00:29Like your soul steps out for a breather and doesn't return?
00:33That's what hit me the morning two HOA enforcers rolled up to our ranch gate and one of them punched my wife, Leah, in the face.
00:42I was twenty feet away, coffee in hand, frozen as it happened.
00:47It started with Leah's voice, tight, controlled, like a wire about to snap.
00:53You're not stepping onto our land without a warrant.
00:57I was on the porch, half-focused on a busted fence rail, my coffee gone cold.
01:03The sun wasn't even fully up.
01:06Then I saw them.
01:07Two men in mirrored sunglasses, tactical polos too tight, smugness radiating like heat.
01:14One clutched a clipboard.
01:16The other carried tension.
01:18Shoulders forward, arms twitching like they were itching to act.
01:23We're authorized to enforce code compliance, the short one barked, tapping a cheap badge like it meant something.
01:30Leah didn't budge.
01:31You're threatening us over a hinge.
01:34Her boots were planted, hands on hips, hair pulled back tight, no fear in sight.
01:40The tall one stepped closer, boot scraping gravel, hands low but ready.
01:46Last warning, ma'am.
01:48Leah didn't flinch.
01:50Not resisting, she said, just disagreeing.
01:54Then he moved, no warning, just a sudden fist cracking across her cheek.
01:59The sound cut through the wind.
02:01Leah twisted, hit the gravel hard, blood smearing her lip, one eye blinking like it couldn't focus.
02:08Gravel stuck to her raw palm from trying to brace herself.
02:12She didn't cry.
02:14That made it worse.
02:16She got physical, the tall one said, voice flat.
02:20I responded with appropriate force.
02:22Appropriate, I echoed, quieter than I meant.
02:26My fists clenched, knees bent, but I didn't move.
02:30Something in my chest seized.
02:32My mind went back.
02:34Eight years old, kitchen linoleum cold under my feet, burnt garlic in the air.
02:38My mother, back turned, trying to fix a bubbling pan before he noticed.
02:43He noticed.
02:45His voice dropped, the room heavy, a spoon clattered.
02:49She reached for it too slow.
02:51He didn't hit her, not yet, but his look made me flinch.
02:56I stepped forward once, said, stop.
02:59He turned, calm as a prayer.
03:02See what you made him do.
03:03I didn't speak after that, didn't move.
03:07Even when my hands were fists, I didn't know what to do with them.
03:12Now, stronger, trained, armed, I was still frozen.
03:17Leah sat up slow.
03:19You saw that?
03:20She asked, her voice cracking in a way that hurt worse than the punch.
03:24I nodded, couldn't speak.
03:28So why the hell didn't you stop it?
03:30Her words cut deeper than silence.
03:33I had no answer.
03:35Hold on, a voice called from across the road.
03:39Walt, my neighbour.
03:41Doomsday prepper, beekeeper, drone pilot, owner of a bunker he calls the hobby shack.
03:48Shirtless, binoculars in one hand, cereal bowl under his arm.
03:52You all need to punch up your bylaws, not people.
03:57Leah gave a small nod.
03:59You good?
04:00That's what I figured, Walt said.
04:03You've always had a mean right hook, even with words.
04:07The two men didn't flinch, didn't apologise,
04:10just walked back to their side by side like they'd delivered a package.
04:14Then came the SUV, dust cloud trailing,
04:17HOA sticker on the windshield like a gang sign.
04:20Out stepped Karen, blonde, immaculate, unbothered.
04:26She scanned Leah on the gravel, me motionless, and gave us a look like we were expired goods.
04:33I assume you'll want to file a complaint.
04:36The board's email is in the newsletter.
04:38Check your spam.
04:40She tapped her phone, didn't wait for a reply.
04:43Had you fixed the fence violation, this could have been avoided.
04:48Walt muttered.
04:49She makes Darth Vader look like a camp counsellor.
04:53Then, louder.
04:55Don't worry.
04:56I'll be on the police scanner in case she calls a drone strike.
05:00Karen drove off like she had a brunch date with someone else's rights.
05:04Leah stood, slow, one arm across her ribs.
05:09I stepped forward.
05:10She flinched, just enough to gut me.
05:13She walked to the house, arms wrapped tight, holding herself together.
05:18I stood there, clutching an empty mug and shame that sank into my bones.
05:23That night, I didn't sleep.
05:25I sat on the porch, bourbon by my boot, knife in my lap, staring at the gravel where Leah fell.
05:33Walt showed up around midnight, two beers, ham radio under his arm.
05:39I tapped their HOA comms, he said.
05:42They're calling you non-compliant.
05:44Want to hear the codes?
05:46I didn't speak.
05:48He sat beside me.
05:50We drank.
05:51After a while, he said.
05:53Sometimes it's not the punch that breaks you.
05:56It's the one you didn't block.
05:58He left.
05:59I sat until dawn, fingers gripping the knife.
06:03Not to use it, but because it was something I could control.
06:07The gravel stayed scarred, and one question echoed.
06:11What happens when a protector waits too long?
06:13They walked away like it was nothing.
06:15I let them.
06:16But that mistake.
06:18They'd only get to make it once.
06:21You'd think after a man punched my wife on our land, someone would face consequences.
06:26Arrested.
06:27Fired.
06:28Maimed.
06:29But nothing.
06:31Silence.
06:32Like it never happened.
06:34Two days later, a notice arrived.
06:37Not mailed, hand-delivered by a teen in a neon vest with HOA courier, scrawled in sharpie.
06:43He muttered, have a better day, and handed me an envelope like it was toxic.
06:49Inside.
06:50Violation of section 18.
06:53A. Unregistered livestock containment alteration.
06:57A fine of $275 will be applied if the perimeter gate isn't adjusted to HOA uniform standards within 72 hours.
07:05Same fence.
07:07Same hinge.
07:08Same rage.
07:09Leah read it, placed it on the counter with surgical precision, and walked to the kitchen.
07:15She grabbed an ice pack, pressed it to her bruised jaw, still healing.
07:19I followed, each step feeling like trespassing.
07:23Leah, I'm…
07:25Don't.
07:26One word.
07:27Final.
07:28She opened the silverware drawer, moved a spoon, swapped two forks, closed it.
07:33Not angry, not sad, just detached, like she'd paused being human.
07:39She organised the spice rack next, labels aligned, no chaos.
07:43The clinking jars were too loud, too empty.
07:46You hungry?
07:47I asked, desperate to say something.
07:50I ate earlier.
07:50I didn't see you eat.
07:53She stopped, looked through me.
07:55You didn't see a lot of things.
07:57That hit harder than any punch.
08:00That night, she moved to the guest room.
08:02Door open.
08:04Not an invitation, a warning.
08:07Karen, meanwhile, was thriving.
08:09She posted an HOA update on Facebook.
08:12Operation Neighbourhood Order.
08:15Quarter 2 Security Realignment.
08:17All properties had to submit a Perimeter Harmony review.
08:21Unauthorised gates, fences, lighting, even livestock tags would be sighted.
08:26Daily patrols were authorised.
08:29This wasn't about rules.
08:31It was control.
08:33The next morning, two new enforcers circled our property from the easement.
08:38Tactical vests, clipboards, matching sunglasses.
08:42They didn't cross the line, just hovered, watched, wrote.
08:46One smiled like we were at a cookout.
08:48Just checking setback buffer compliance, he said.
08:53You're close to the limit.
08:55So are you, I replied.
08:57He chuckled.
08:59Wrote something down.
09:00Walt called them HOA Gestapo.
09:04They cited him for aesthetic obstruction via bunker porthole symmetry.
09:08He waved the ticket like a trophy.
09:11The only thing obstructing aesthetics is Karen's soul.
09:15Later, in the barn, I read every HOA notice we'd gotten, searching for a loophole.
09:21Every paragraph felt like a trap, dressed as bureaucracy.
09:24Leah passed the window once, arms crossed, didn't look in.
09:30Her silence was louder than any fine.
09:33I found her on the couch, braiding her hair with bomb-diffusing focus.
09:37I need to fix this, I said.
09:40She didn't look up.
09:42You need to decide who you are.
09:45Right now, I don't think you know.
09:47She turned the TV up one notch.
09:50Conversation over.
09:52I stood, staring at the back of her head, wondering how far I'd lost her.
09:56The next morning, Walt pulled up in his camo golf cart, drone buzzing behind him, holding
10:03a jug of something cloudy.
10:06Combustor.
10:07Half kombucha, half fuel.
10:10Cleans the engine and the colon, I didn't laugh.
10:13He noticed.
10:14They find me for weaponised composting.
10:17I said it's just enthusiastic gardening.
10:20I sat on the porch.
10:22You ever freeze?
10:23I asked.
10:24He looked serious.
10:25Like when someone gets hurt, and you just stand there.
10:30Not because you don't care, but because you can't.
10:33He pointed to a dent in his truck.
10:36X put that there with a hammer.
10:382011.
10:40Missed my skull by six inches.
10:42I ducked.
10:43Didn't freeze.
10:44But that half second where I wasn't sure what I'd do.
10:47It never leaves.
10:49But you don't have to live in it.
10:52That night, I watched another patrol near our fence.
10:55One shined a flashlight across the gravel.
10:58I didn't move.
11:00Just watched.
11:01Hand clenched on the armrest.
11:03The man who froze was still in me.
11:06But now he had company.
11:08Someone colder.
11:09Waiting.
11:11The morning after, the air felt wrong.
11:14Still.
11:15Like before a storm you feel in your ribs.
11:17I was tightening the chicken coop latch.
11:20Not because it needed it.
11:22But because my hands didn't know what else to do.
11:25Walt waved like he was directing air traffic.
11:28You free?
11:30Define free.
11:32Free enough to learn the HOA declared psychological war.
11:35He held up a hard drive like it was scripture.
11:39In his bunker.
11:41Part militia gift shop.
11:42Part Area 51.
11:44Canned food labelled by mood.
11:47Happy beans.
11:48Crisis corn.
11:50A leaf blower flamethrower.
11:52And a squirrel skull in Ray-Bans.
11:54Drone caught more than expected.
11:57Walt said.
11:58Booting a laptop covered in Don't Tread on Me stickers.
12:01The screen showed Leah at the gate.
12:03Arms crossed.
12:05The two enforcers flanking her.
12:07I enhanced the audio.
12:09Walt said.
12:10Built a frequency isolator to eavesdrop on raccoon conspiracies.
12:14A crackle.
12:15Then a whisper.
12:16Use the wife.
12:18He'll snap.
12:19He always does.
12:20My fists clenched so hard a tendon cracked.
12:23Play it again.
12:25He did.
12:26Use the wife.
12:27He'll snap.
12:28He always does.
12:29Freeze on the guy who said that.
12:32Ray Dobbs.
12:33Short beard.
12:34Combat cut hair.
12:35Eyes like burnt bulbs.
12:37We served together.
12:38I said.
12:39Same unit.
12:40Same mess.
12:42Walt turned.
12:43And now he's working for Karen.
12:46I nodded.
12:47Afghanistan.
12:48Ghanzi province.
12:49Dust in my teeth.
12:50A mission that wasn't supposed to be loud.
12:53Ray kicked a door.
12:55Yelled something that made the translator flinch.
12:57Pop.
12:58Pop.
12:59A woman and a kid hit the dirt.
13:02The boy held a pot lid.
13:04Ray thought it was a weapon.
13:05It wasn't.
13:06He stood there.
13:08No remorse.
13:09I filed the report that ended his career.
13:12Not for revenge.
13:13But because someone had to say no.
13:16This was never about fences.
13:18I said.
13:19It was a trap.
13:20Set for me.
13:22Walt leaned back.
13:23Karen knew who she hired.
13:25She knew and didn't care.
13:27Or cared and liked it.
13:29Do you think he's done?
13:31No.
13:32You gonna freeze again?
13:34I hope not.
13:36Hope's a poor security system.
13:38Walt muttered.
13:38I recommend trip wires or emotionally manipulative squirrels.
13:43He handed me copies of the footage.
13:46Hard drive.
13:47Cloud.
13:48Flash drive.
13:49Hidden in a taxidermy possum named Carl.
13:51I drove past the county line.
13:54Parked on a gravel road where the land felt wide enough to breathe.
13:58The wind hit me like it knew who I was before this.
14:02Use the wife.
14:04He'll snap.
14:05How long had this been building?
14:08Did Ray find me?
14:09Or did Karen go looking?
14:11Every HOA fine.
14:13Every patrol.
14:14It was bait.
14:15I'd taken it.
14:17Back home.
14:18Leah's door was closed.
14:20Light off.
14:20I raised my hand to knock.
14:23Wanting to confess.
14:24Ray.
14:25Gansey.
14:26The ghosts I'd brought home.
14:28But how do you admit the danger in your driveway was your fault?
14:32I sat on the porch.
14:33Knife in my lap.
14:34Bourbon by my boot.
14:36A side-by-side rolled past.
14:39No headlights.
14:40Just watching.
14:41Walt's drone rose.
14:43Green LED blinking.
14:45My phone buzzed.
14:47Ten o'clock.
14:48HOA watching again.
14:49I whispered.
14:51Not again.
14:53They thought they knew my limits.
14:55They were wrong.
14:56The world holds its breath before violence.
14:59Air still.
15:00Animals quiet.
15:01Wind pulling back.
15:03That's what it felt like at sundown.
15:05I walked the fence line.
15:07No flashlight.
15:08Just instinct and a bad taste in my teeth.
15:11The horses stood stiff.
15:13Eyes wide.
15:13I moved through overgrown grass.
15:16Past feed bins.
15:18Toward the north tank.
15:20A scuffed boot mark in the dirt.
15:22Fresh.
15:23Deep.
15:24Another print.
15:25A snapped branch.
15:26Bent fence wire.
15:27Hunting silence.
15:29I rose.
15:30Pivoted.
15:31Caught a blow to the jaw that spun me.
15:33Stumbled.
15:33Grabbed the gate.
15:35A second shadow hit my side.
15:37Ribs burned.
15:38Air gone.
15:39Evening, soldier.
15:41Ray said.
15:41Calm.
15:43Funny seeing you without your clipboard.
15:45Figured we'd skip the paperwork.
15:47He smirked.
15:48Karen sends her regards.
15:51Blood in my mouth.
15:52Vision narrow.
15:53The second guy.
15:55Bigger.
15:55Brass knuckles glinting.
15:57Swung.
15:58I ducked.
15:59Grabbed a loose fence latch.
16:00Swung it into his thigh.
16:02He staggered.
16:03Ray smiled.
16:04You used to hit harder, Ellis.
16:07I rushed him.
16:08Shoulder to gut.
16:10We hit the dirt.
16:11Elbows flying.
16:12I caught his cheek.
16:14He kneed my side.
16:15The big guy tackled me.
16:17Fist to my skull.
16:18Stars.
16:19Then Gansey hit.
16:21Ray screaming.
16:22They looked hostile.
16:23My voice.
16:24Stand down.
16:25Pop, pop.
16:26Their bodies crumpled.
16:27My eyes snapped open.
16:29Something in me switched on.
16:31I twisted.
16:32Grabbed a jagged gate frame.
16:33Slammed it into the big guy's shoulder.
16:36He roared.
16:37I rolled free.
16:38Elbowed his throat.
16:40He went down.
16:41Wheezing.
16:42Ray ran.
16:43I caught his collar.
16:44Yanked him into the mud.
16:46Fist.
16:46Fist.
16:47Rebar jab.
16:48Fist again.
16:49His blood hit my knuckles.
16:51Thick.
16:52Wrong.
16:53This what you wanted?
16:54I shouted.
16:56He smiled.
16:57Lips torn.
16:58Blood in his teeth.
16:59Leah stood in the field.
17:01Barefoot.
17:02Pale.
17:02Well, that's not the man who didn't stop them, she said, then walked away.
17:07Ray coughed.
17:08Told you.
17:10You always break.
17:11I left him in the dirt.
17:13Limped to the porch.
17:14Collapsed.
17:15My hands weren't mine.
17:17Split knuckles.
17:18Blood flaking.
17:19Trembling.
17:20Someone I'd buried.
17:22Leah's door closed.
17:23Locked.
17:25I sat, not knowing if it was goodbye.
17:28Walt's drone hovered, red light blinking.
17:31He'd seen it all and didn't interrupt.
17:33I sat until the blood dried.
17:35Until I admitted.
17:37Maybe I wasn't a protector anymore.
17:39Maybe I was worse.
17:41They didn't break me.
17:43They took the brakes off.
17:45I stopped reacting.
17:46Started planning.
17:48By sunrise, I was clear.
17:50Surgical.
17:50I dug out ranch schematics, mapped soil conditions, elevation, choke points.
17:57The land wasn't home anymore.
17:59It was a battlefield.
18:00I rigged wire, bell triggers, bottle cap chimes every 20 feet.
18:05Walt's frankencams, drone parts, old iPhones, covered blind spots.
18:11He showed up with sensors and a thermos of molasses gasoline spite.
18:15Hunting body armour, or mutant raccoons.
18:19Just making sure I know before they know.
18:22We laid cams, buried a shock sensor in a hose nozzle.
18:26Walt handed me a heat calibrated monitor.
18:30Gets more accurate the more paranoid you are.
18:33At 3pm, Karen's boys rolled by.
18:36Ray in the passenger seat, bruises visible.
18:39They didn't stop, just cruised, measuring.
18:43Ray smiled.
18:44The Gansey smile.
18:46Leah watched from the porch, neutral, calculating if I was protecting us or preparing to be alone.
18:53That night, I stocked the barn.
18:56Water, fuel, radios, food, redundancies.
19:01Walt helped reinforce the door with a steel bar.
19:05You're either building a bunker or prepping for the angriest HOA visit ever.
19:10I'm done prepping.
19:11I'm calibrating.
19:13Promise me you're protecting someone, not rebuilding who you didn't want to be.
19:18I didn't answer.
19:20Leah found me in the barn, eyeing gear I hadn't touched in years.
19:24Knife, radio, boots with sand in the laces.
19:29Planning to fight a war or survive one.
19:31End one.
19:33She left, quiet.
19:34Before sundown, I lowered the American flag, raised a black cloth, a signal only some understand.
19:42Walt whistled.
19:44That's the kind that makes people Google you.
19:46I shaved, bandaged wounds, saw a man in the mirror who didn't look tired.
19:52Ready.
19:54They came at 4.37pm on a Wednesday.
19:57Not at night.
19:59Karen needed sunlight.
20:00An audience.
20:01I was in the barn, checking a trip line, when the monitor pinged.
20:06Three dots.
20:07Too heavy.
20:08Too steady.
20:10Walt's radio crackled.
20:11Too heavies and a clipboard.
20:13You're getting audited.
20:15Karen marched up.
20:17Hair shellacked.
20:18Sunglasses reflecting ego.
20:20Ray limped.
20:21Eyes swollen.
20:22A rookie twitched, eager.
20:24Karen stopped short of the gate.
20:27Mark Ellis.
20:28You're in violation of codes 12B, 14C, and emergency addendum 19F.
20:34You're not law enforcement.
20:36No, she said.
20:38But I decide what happens next.
20:41Ray scanned the barn.
20:42Uneasy.
20:43I let the silence grow.
20:45Let the wind stir the tripwire grass.
20:48Crunch.
20:49Ray's boot hit the gate post.
20:51Click.
20:52Then chaos.
20:54Walt's speakers blared malicious static.
20:56Reversed emergency tones.
20:58Cold War commands.
21:00The rookie jumped.
21:01Karen dropped her tablet.
21:03A net ripped up.
21:04Caught Ray mid-step.
21:05Slammed him face-first into gravel.
21:08He screamed.
21:09The rookie charged.
21:10A bucket of fish oil and hot sauce launched from the loft.
21:13Hit his chest.
21:15He howled.
21:16Slipped.
21:16Hit a tripwire.
21:18Boom.
21:20Flashcans roared.
21:21Karen dropped.
21:22Hands over ears.
21:24Ray rolled.
21:25Rookie crawled.
21:26Soaked in misery.
21:28I walked forward.
21:29Boots crunching.
21:30Ray looked up.
21:31Reaching for his vest.
21:32I stepped on his chest.
21:34You crossed the line.
21:36You set a trap.
21:37He grunted.
21:38No.
21:39I built a boundary.
21:40You ignored it.
21:42Karen stood.
21:43Shaky.
21:44This is illegal.
21:46So was punching my wife.
21:47She backed up.
21:48Voice cracking.
21:50This is still HOA land.
21:52Not anymore.
21:53You stepped on mine.
21:54She stumbled.
21:55Fled.
21:56The rookie ran.
21:57Tripped in fish slime.
21:59Walt climbed down.
22:01Cattle prod in hand.
22:02You're good.
22:04Never better.
22:05We watched them vanish in dust and ego.
22:08Leah saw it from the kitchen.
22:10Hands still.
22:11Face unreadable.
22:13You didn't freeze.
22:14She said.
22:15You didn't blink.
22:17She looked at me.
22:18Searching for who I was.
22:20Then left.
22:21Closing the door.
22:22Not slammed.
22:23Just closed.
22:24I'd built a warning.
22:26Not just for them.
22:27For me.
22:29Karen thought I was the problem.
22:31Now.
22:31I was the consequence.
22:33I thought it was over.
22:34I was wrong.
22:35They weren't retreating.
22:37They were reloading.
22:39At 6.12am.
22:41Walt dropped a tablet on the table.
22:43It's not a bad Yelp review.
22:46The footage showed Ray in the net.
22:48Me over him.
22:49Boot on his chest.
22:51You crossed the line.
22:52No context.
22:54No trespassing.
22:55No Leah's bruise.
22:56Just me as a warlord.
22:58My jaw clenched.
23:00They stripped the context.
23:02Made me the villain.
23:04It's working.
23:05Walt said.
23:06Facebook.
23:07News.
23:08Blogs.
23:09Called me Rancher Rambo.
23:11A neighbour's blurred voice.
23:14People don't lay traps unless they're planning worse.
23:17A noon courier brought an envelope from Whittaker, Griggs and Bell.
23:22$75,000 suit.
23:24Aggravated trespass deterrence.
23:26Hostile intent.
23:28They wanted to bankrupt me.
23:30Walt sat on the porch.
23:32We could fight digitally.
23:34Raw footage.
23:35Timestamps.
23:37They'll edit that too.
23:38They've got the mic.
23:40Leah came in at dusk.
23:42Watched the footage loop.
23:44You set that trap.
23:46I protected my land.
23:48Did you?
23:49Or did you bait them?
23:51Her voice rose.
23:52They assaulted me.
23:54And now the world thinks you assaulted them.
23:56I'm stuck between the man who let it happen and the man who planned it too well.
24:01You're not the man I married.
24:03Then what am I?
24:04I don't know.
24:06But you scare me more than they do.
24:09She slammed the door.
24:11I sat on the porch.
24:12Watched a car half a mile up.
24:14Headlights off.
24:15Engine running.
24:17I flashed my flashlight.
24:18One.
24:19Two.
24:20Three.
24:21One flashback.
24:22They were watching.
24:23I was two.
24:24They came to frame me.
24:26Now I'd take the script.
24:28I didn't rant online.
24:29I built a case.
24:31Raw files, timelines, audio clips.
24:33Walt handed me a thumb drive.
24:35I sent it to Mia, Leah's cousin, a civil rights attorney.
24:39She replied, send the file.
24:42Ten minutes later, a complaint document arrived, sharp enough to cut steel.
24:47We filed a countersuit before their HOA hearing.
24:51Unlawful trespass.
24:52False impersonation.
24:54Use of force.
24:55Defamation.
24:56Drone footage.
24:58Hospital records.
24:59Leaked HOA documents.
25:01Someone hated Karen more than I did.
25:04In county court, Mia by my side, I wore clean boots and silence.
25:09Karen's team had three lawyers and a clicky pen.
25:13The judge watched 30 seconds of footage, raised his eyebrows.
25:17This should have never reached this point.
25:20He signed a permanent injunction, restraining orders, cease and desist.
25:24The HOA couldn't send fines, people, anything.
25:28Three days later, Karen resigned, sold her house, left without a word.
25:34Ray was erased from the HOA site.
25:36Walt called their number.
25:38No answer.
25:39Staffing shortage, he said, sipping emergency juice.
25:43We reset the ranch, removed tripwires, hung the American flag.
25:47Normal, but not the same.
25:50Walt sat with me at dusk.
25:52You used to freeze.
25:54Now you draw the line and make sure no one forgets.
25:57Comforting?
25:58Nah.
25:59Accurate.
26:01Leah came home, stood at the door, watching.
26:04She sat beside me.
26:05Not close.
26:06Just there.
26:08Do you miss who you were before this?
26:10Number I became who I was supposed to be.
26:14She didn't argue.
26:16Didn't leave.
26:17That was enough.
26:18I didn't need revenge.
26:20I needed clarity.
26:21Over me.
26:22They don't fear me because I fight.
26:25They fear me because I stopped fighting and still won.
26:27And then I was going to cry because the army ran away from the spoil.
26:35But I don't have enough reason to fight.
26:37I was supposed to fight.
26:39And then I got along.
26:40They're the only reason to win.
26:41I had to be, I don't have enough reason.
26:41Over me, I have a Lot of vis erklars that have the enemy has the right to fight.
26:42Over me.
26:43But I have to be.
26:43I will make a Doctor dis笑.
26:44Over me.
26:45Over me.
26:45Over me.
26:45Over me.
26:46해야 in the WORD businesses.
26:46Over me.
26:47Over me.
26:47By the way.
26:47Over me.
26:48You're the only reason to do not-
26:50mega-make.
26:50Over me.
26:51Back in.
26:52Over me.
26:54Over me.
26:54Over me.
26:56Over me.
26:56Over me.
