The Place

Family home

Twin Peaks Elementary School

The story starts in a relatively new neighborhood about 8 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City. My parents’ home had been built 13 years earlier, where there had previously only been fruit farms owned by the Fujis, Japanese immigrants who had farmed the area since the early 20th century. I had two older siblings, John (age 12), Jane (age 11) and two younger siblings Christine (age 5) and David, who had just turned one a few weeks earlier. My father, Earl, 45, was a comptroller at a government agency. My mother, Barbara, 39, was a stay-at-home mom, who had previously been a teacher and an office manager for a prominent ophthalmologist.

The Event

It was a comfortable 60 degrees Farenheight as I walked home from Twin Peaks Elementary where I was a 2nd grade student in Mrs. Roland’s class. I probably walked home with David Vanos and Kyle Harrison, both a year older than me, as well as Trent Jameson, two years older than me. For a reason long lost to me, I got in a small fist fight with a boy my age who lived a block away from me but who was not within my circle of friends. The fight probably would have long been forgotten by me, except that night I noticed a faint trace of blood in my urine.
