The sun's always brighter on the outside, the air's always cleaner, the water's always clearer. Mark squinted his eyes toward the cab that pulled in front of him and got in, his unlaundered jeans and T-shirt, which he hadn't worn in 18 months, crinkling fresher against the leather seats than any of his jail overalls ever would have. "Ferguson Court," he said.
"You gots it, brother-"
Mark shoved his right hand into his pocket and grabbed the $125 he'd made during his time in Cedarville State Prison as an upstanding citizen-inmate with no behavior infractions on his record. He laughed.
"Damn, you a young'un for that place-"
"Seventeen-"
"Damn!" The black man's yellowed eyes met Mark's in the rearview. "What the fuck you do-"
"Drugs-"
"Musta been a lot of drugs-"
"Yeah, they got me with a kingpin charge. Tried me as an adult when I was sixteen-"
"That's fucked up, man-"
"Yeah. Wasn't even my shit-"
"No way-"
"Way-"
"How much you get-"
"Twenty years-"
"Damn!"
"With all but two years suspended. Got out in eighteen on good behavior-"
"And just in time too. People gettin' whacked left and right in that motherfucker-"
"Yeah, it's scary-"
"You goin' back to school?"
"Nah, college. Got my GED in Cedarville-"
The man's eyes widened, then narrowed as he glanced down at the radio. "You like this?"
"Turn it up-"
The man laughed, the gray hairs on his head dancing with the black shiny ones. "You gots it-"
"They can't fuck with me now
Huh? Fuck with me now
No, they can't fuck with me now
Can't fuck with me now
Let's go"
As the yellow Crown Victoria slid around the corner into Ferguson Court, the cabbie turned down the radio. "Which one?"
"That one-" Mark pointed out the window.
"All right, man-" The cabbie looked out the passenger side window at the blonde woman standing on the porch of Mark's house. He turned to Mark with a giggle that flashed his platinum grille. "Smart, my man. Got that pussy all lined up-"
Mark looked out and laughed. "Yep, all lined up." He grabbed all the money from his pocket and gave it to the cabbie in a clump of green and gray. Then got out and hurried to the stoop, where he met Sarah, weaved one hand through her hair, pulled her head back, and slipped his tongue into her open, waiting mouth.

Mark's release and redemption from prison was even more uplifting than mine.

This story reminds me of the time my plane crashed on an island with a bunch of time traveling midgets who were fighting Satan. They had tanks and lazer beams.
