For the month of September, we will be reading and discussing My Anti-Hero by Tijan.
I shouldn’t have agreed to this. What was I thinking? Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me? I live mostly in isolation on purpose. But here I am. And then I walked past his room.
He’s a giant—no softness, all muscle.
He made me see stars, literally because the second time I saw him, I tripped.
Or I would’ve, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling.
He’s Brett Broudou, the Kings’ newest football star.
We couldn’t be more opposite.
Brett, the Super Bowl champion, and me, the survivor who helped bring down the infamous Midwest Butcher.
Brett might not think he’s anyone’s hero, but he’s about to become mine.
