Introduction
The members of The Devil Wants Peace and the members of New Religion were hanging out together. John said, "I think we've heard everyone's life stories except for Carl's." Peter said, "Yeah, I think so." Allen said, "I think আপনি should tell us your story, Carl." Stan nodded in agreement. Carl held back tears. His story was rather painful, and he wasn't sure he wanted to share it with his newest friends. Paul said, "It's all right, Carl. আপনি can tell them." Erin said, "You're নিরাপদ with The Devil Wants Peace." Lola said, "Erin's right. আপনি don't have to be afraid to tell them." Carl said, "All right. Here it goes."

The Unwanted Child
I was born on March 7, 1997. My parents always ব্যক্ত that I was "an accident". I wasn't planned, after all. My parents never intended on having children, but they had me. My father was a church pastor. My mother was the secretary. "God is love," they'd always say. They never showed me what প্রণয় is. My father would hit me with his bible when he got angry. My mother always ব্যক্ত to me, "You ruined my life the দিন আপনি were born!" As a result, I was reluctant to let anyone in. How could I trust them? Most of my classmates went to church with us. I was never really bullied, and good thing. I took enough abuse at home. This occurred for the first ten years of my life.

One day, the members of New Religion went on a hiking trail. During the hike, Paul got carried away and did not pay attention to the slope in front of him. He took a hard fall. His mates rushed to the slope. They could see him lying on the hard ground. "Paul!" They cried. "Are আপনি okay?!" He grunted in response. Lola said, "Oh, no! He's hurt!" Erin carefully made her way down to Paul. Carl and Lola followed. Erin knelt down beside of her friend. He groaned in pain. She said, "Talk to me, Paul." He said, "I think I've broken my leg." Lola and Carl made it to Paul. Carl asked, "Paul, do আপনি think...

The members of New Religion had been to New York. Their পরবর্তি stop in their tour was Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a bit different from New York, but they thought it was a beautiful city. Erin especially liked it. She said, "So far, the only city I've seen that was আরো beautiful than this was Rockingham, North Carolina." Paul said, "It certainly a beautiful city. If I'm thinking correctly, one of the members of Red Hot Chili Peppers was born here." Lola said, "Yeah, I think so. It was Anthony Kiedis, wasn't it?" Carl said, "Yes, it was. He was born here on November 1, 1962." Paul said, "Geez!...

The members of New Religion had released their first album, Broken and Mended, which was named for Erin's song. After the release of the album, the band went on tour. Carl was the most excited about it. He had traveled to many places, and he really enjoyed it. He said, "I can't wait to start our tour. I প্রণয় to travel!" Erin was the most nervous, as she was afraid of heights. She said, "I'm not really comfortable with heights." Lola said, "I'm sure you'll be fine." Erin said, "If আপনি get me high enough, I'll pass out." Paul said, "Don't worry, Erin. I'll sit দ্বারা the window." Their first show...

The দিন after I was released from the hospital, my friend, Alyssa, paid me a visit. She said, "I just heard what had happened. Are আপনি okay?" I said, "I'm badly hurt, but the doctor ব্যক্ত I should recover." She said, "I'm glad for that. Why didn't আপনি come to me instead of running away?" I said, "I just didn't think things through, Alyssa." She said, "Ellie, promise me আপনি won't run away. You'll come to me instead." I smiled and said, "It's a deal!" Sometime later, Grandpa and I found the owner of the house on the other side of the forest. That kind man saved my life. The least I could do was...

Lying on the snow-covered ground, injured, I was sure I was going to die. I then saw the owner of the house approaching me. I had seen him in his yard on many occasions, but I never saw him up close until that day. He knelt down beside me. He asked, "What are আপনি doing out here দ্বারা yourself?" I faintly said, "I got হারিয়ে গেছে in the blizzard." He noticed the blood-stained pants leg. He said, "You don't look so good. You're pale." He then pulled up my pants leg and saw my leg was badly wounded. He said, "You're badly hurt, too. I better get আপনি to a hospital." He picked me up to carry me to his truck....

I continued walking through the forest. It was so cold. I could hear the snow crunching under my feet. Suddenly, it began to snow. I couldn't really see where I was going. I made another step, and I heard a snapping sound. Immediately after the snapping sound, I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my leg. I thought, I must've broken my leg. I'll try to get up to see the damage. When I tried to get up, it felt like something was keeping me from getting off the ground. It was almost as if I was chained. I uncovered a hunter's trap in the snow. Grandpa had shown me how to disassemble a hunter's trap...

It was a Saturday morning. I had spent Friday night with my grandparents. Grandpa took me প্রথমপাতা Saturday afternoon. Father was waiting at the door. He said, "Ellie, আপনি have homework this weekend." I said, "I already did it last night, Father. I did it before going to Grandma and Grandpa's. Don't আপনি remember?" Father glared at me and said, "Don't get smart with me, Ellie." I said, "I'm not being smart with you. I'm telling the truth." He said, "Let me give আপনি what my father gave me." He slapped me across the face. The forced knocked me to the ground. Grandpa put himself between me and Father...

Shortly after coming প্রথমপাতা that evening, Father got some alcohol to drink. One drink led to another, and the পরবর্তি thing I knew, he was shouting at me. He said, "Grandpa told আপনি about his hellish lifestyle, didn't he?!" I said, "I don't think it's hellish. He didn't hurt anybody." Father said, "I suppose now আপনি want to live that lifestyle." I said, "Father, it doesn't matter how one lives, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. It's fine to be a Christian, but it's not okay to beat the hell out of people in the name of it." I guess he knew I was referring to him. He beat on me a while and...

Every Sunday, my parents and I would go to my grandparents' house. Grandma always fixed a nice lunch. After helping Grandma wash the dishes, I would go outside, weather permitting. Usually, I'd find Grandpa sitting under the big White Oak in his garden area. Often, his Alaskan Malamute, which he named Wolf, would sit পরবর্তি to him. One Sunday, he said, "Hi, Ellie. Why don't আপনি যোগদান me?" I did. Grandpa actually introduced Mother to the Beatles. I asked him about John Lennon's statement about the Beatles being "more জনপ্রিয় than Jesus." Grandpa said, "That John. He was always very opinionated...

It was my twelfth birthday. After the celebration, I was in the study room, browsing the Internet on my computer. As I was browsing the Internet, I saw something that caught my attention. It was a heading that said, "Today is the 50th anniversary of when John Lennon ব্যক্ত that the Beatles are আরো জনপ্রিয় than Jesus." I was curious. I thought, Is that why Father doesn't like the fact that Mother and I are Beatles fans? Now, I knew a bit about the Beatles. I knew that they were extremely জনপ্রিয় in the 60's. I knew that they were synonymous with the British Invasion. I knew about the Paul is...

The Devil Wants Peace
After high school, Allen, Peter, and I met Stan, and he became our drummer. After we became famous, I had a কেবিন built in the mountains. Despite the fact I no longer lived with him, Uncle Bob continued to support our band until he was tragically killed in a car crash. I blamed myself at first, because I had a bad argument with him before he died, but in a dream, he told me he forgave me. I later dated an incredible woman named Violet. It didn't work out, unfortunately. Thankfully, it ended on good terms, and we're still good friends, but we just don't function as lovers....

High School
In high school, I got beat up a lot. I got beat up before high school, but I got beat up আরো in high school. I only dated once during high school, but it took a bad turn when she got her বন্ধু to tie me to a pole and beat me up. My mother thought they had killed me, not that she would have cared if they did. Later in high school, I had a dream encounter with John Lennon. I couldn't believe it was him, because he had died nearly seven years earlier. He told me it was his spirit. I was encouraged to try and change the attitude of my hometown, but I failed. After Randall and I got...

No Stable Place
Aside from Uncle Bob, the only other family members who paid me any mind were my grandparents. My grandfather passed away about a বছর and a half after my father's untimely death. My grandmother lived until I started high school. When she was alive, I could always go to her with a problem. Every time I would have a bad দিন at school, I would go to her. She would say, "Tell me what's wrong, John." I would tell her what was wrong, and she would make everything better. When she passed away when I started high school, I was devastated. Now I had no one to go to when I had a bad day. That's when my record listening became আরো frequent. Other than my dog, Beatle, it was my only উৎস of comfort. I really missed having a person to talk to. I missed having someone who listened to me. When he wasn't working, I could call Uncle Bob and talk to him, but it wasn't the same. Grandma seemed to have an answer for everything. Nobody else seemed to have that gift.

Uncle Bob
When my father was alive, Uncle Bob didn't come to Devil's Garden often. After my father died, he came as often as he could. Uncle Bob was my father's older brother. He never married and never had children. Still, he was to be my legal guardian if something happened to both of my parents. Of course, I would later end up living with him anyway, but that's another story. It was close to Thanksgiving, and Uncle Bob came in. It was the last দিন of school before Thanksgiving Break, but I wasn't feeling well. My mother tried to force me to go to school, but I didn't want to move. My muscles...

Farewell, My Childhood
It was July 22, 1983. I will never forget that তারিখ as long as I live. It was perhaps the worst দিন of my life, the দিন I had to চুম্বন my childhood goodbye. I visited with my grandparents that day. I really enjoyed hanging out with them. My mother took my sisters on a shopping spree. My father had to work. I was twelve, and my father didn't trust me at প্রথমপাতা দ্বারা myself. I asked to stay with my grandparents until after dinner. My father picked me up to take me home. Along the way, a truck ran a red light and hit the car. It happened so quickly, but I remember it so vividly....

A গিটার and the Two Beatles
December 8, 1980 was a তারিখ that I will never forget. I had been to an event with the school band. My father and I were heading home. It was late at night, and we were listening to the radio. I will never forget the news. John Lennon had been shot and killed. My father tried to hide it, but he couldn't help it. He just had to cry. I asked, "Father, was he your friend?" My father dried his tears and said, "No, son, I never met him. I only knew of him. He was a member of the British band, the Beatles." I was curious and asked him to tell me more. He told me about how...

Gaining Friends
As time passed, I still hadn't made any friends. Even in church, other kids bullied me. One day, some of the other kids in church were physically bullying me. I then heard a big, booming voice say, "Stop that right now! Would যীশু do such a thing?" The other kids ran away, and I got up. There was a man standing there. He was not particularly skinny অথবা stout. He was clean shaven and had short hair, even shorter than my father's. He wasn't particularly short অথবা tall. He appeared to be around sixty-two অথবা sixty-three. He had dark, brown eyes and pepper gray hair. He had a deep...

Introduction
It was John Wilde's forty-fifth birthday. He wanted a small celebration with his band mates and with Grace and her aunt and uncle, whom he considered his family. John said, "I can't believe I'm forty-five." Allen said, "I know. What's nice is your life is so different now than what it was in the beginning." John said, "Yeah." Grace said, "I know আপনি went through some rough times, but how different was it?" John was hesitant to tell her. He never shared things like that with his fans. Peter said, "John, Grace is part of your family now. I think you're নিরাপদ with her, mate." Allen...

It was summer. Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola went back প্রথমপাতা for the summer. One day, the four বন্ধু had a কোঁচ, gig in a neighboring town. The পরবর্তি morning, they ate breakfast at a local restaurant. Two men walked up to them. One of them said, "You're New Religion. We saw your সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান last night. We were quite impressed." Erin said, "We're glad আপনি enjoyed it." Paul asked, "What was your পছন্দ song?" The man said, "I have to say 'Fresh Fritz Beats'. Fritz playing the drums with his tail was quite adorable." The other man spoke up and said, "Allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm Mark, and this is...

During the সেকেন্ড semester of their first বছর of college, the members of New Religion moved to a pet friendly apartment that all four of them could share. It just seemed better that way, because for one thing, they were all very close, and for another thing, Erin and Lola would no longer have that horrible roommate with her awful boyfriends. One afternoon, Erin was strumming on her guitar. Fritz started barking, and Erin went to see what was wrong. Paul had returned from his afternoon class. He did not look like himself at all. Erin said, "Paul, আপনি look terrible." He said, "Define terrible."...
