![]() ![]() I’ve often asked myself this very thing and have always come up with a different answer. However, you know her as Livvie and so I’ll continue to call her that for your benefit, but of course, that would beg the question: Who am I? She changed her name when she entered the witness protection program in the United States in exchange for her testimony against her kidnapper and ra**st (that’s me). Shakespeare asked, “What is in a name?” I can tell you-a whole hell of a lot. They were very important in Livvie’s books and it’s worth mentioning. However, because you begged so nicely, I will endeavor to tell you the story you want to hear.īefore I move on, a word about names. Livvie and I have changed considerably from the people you read about.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t because I have to face turning thirty in August. I’m twenty-nine now and I finally know it for a fact. In May it will have been four years since I sat in a tinted sedan and contemplated kidnapping Livvie. It’s been a long time since Captive in the Dark today is Friday, February 8th, 2013. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well. ![]()

Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis, and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. Fox stunned the world by announcing that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - a degenerative neurological condition. 'If you were to rush in to this room right now and announce that you had struck a deal-with God, Allah, Buddha, Christ, Krishna, Bill Gates, whomever-in which the ten years since my diagnosis could be magically taken away, traded in for ten more years as the person I was before, I would, without a moment's hesitation, tell you to take a hike.' ![]() Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album! ![]() ![]() ![]() Finn Douglas and his kids aren't really her family, however much she wishes they were.

This is more overt because it’s pointing to the ways we do that all the time.
