Read Part-2 of Coast Playa's and a true continuation of the story that led to Antonio "Tony" Berry's demise. After the building of one of the largest drug "Enterprises" to ever originate in the Southern District of Mississippi between the mid 80's and early 90's as detailed in the book "It Is What it Is" by Gerald H. Duffy, Tony is confronted with a soul-searching decision that has him in turmoil with many sleepless nights. His most trusted and thought to be loyal friends and confidants have agreed to cooperate with the Government against him to help them secure his conviction and send him to his grave. Tony has only two options placed before him; that's not much to choose from. He can become a turn-coat snitch for the Government as the others, or remain stead-fast on his morals and principles, which he truly believes in, and roll the dice. If Tony rolls the dice and craps out, it could mean a life sentence that would keep Tony in federal prison for the remainder of his life with no possibility of parole. Tony was raised to believe that people are suppose to be held responsible for their own actions whether good or bad and that devious devils will throw rocks and hide their hands. Would Tony take his chances with being judge by twelve and walking out the court room a free man, knowing it could spell the remainder of his life seeking resurrection from the cross that awaits him. Or will Tony take the easiest most evil way out of the predicament which he finds himself as his co-defendants? "THE ENTERPRISE" tells the story of love, envy, jealousy, betrayal and the weak. Remember your so called friends could turn out to be your worse enemies and executioners.

"Once upon a time, long lone ago, in a far away lane filled with magical creatures, there lived a dragon. Now this was not just some plain, ordinary dragon; this was a little pink dragon." "Really grandfather; a little pink dragon?" asked Elisabeth. "That's right. And the little dragon was so pink that his mother and father named him Pinky. "Well, as you can imagine, Pinky was different from the rest of the dragons that lived in his village, for all the dragons in his village, and other villages of his race, were green dragons. Even Pinky's parents were green dragons. The other dragons thought Pinky was very strange and he was considered an outcast. So, life was much harder for him while he was growing up in the Great Woods where his village was. Pinky had never had any friends; all the younger green dragons were mean to Pinky just because he was a different color. But little did they know just how special Pinky truly was; not even Pinky knew. "But I knew," said grandfather "So look closely into my crystal ball, as I tell you the tale of Pinky the dragon, and of the day his life was forever changed."

This epic allegory is a story about a fellow who dies in his sleep, while having a dream that he is in a boat, on a journey to Heaven. Our character does not realize at most points of his dream that he actually is dying. Towards the END of the story, he begins to REALIZE that this dream, in actuality, IS real. While our character sleeps, he dreams that he is in a boat with seven beautiful women, who each represent part of the life that our character spent, while alive, in this world. As he accepts in HIMSELF, the way he has spent his life, he loses, in his Dream, the ladies, one by one to awesome experiences, until he is alone in the boat, as he is in his sleep. At this point, in the DREAM, our character reaches Heaven in his dream-boat, and is accepted INTO the Kingdom of Heaven. In REALITY, he dies, views his dead self, merges with the Divine and then, his spirit speaks to his audience from that far away place. Throughout the story, our characters mind drifts back and forth, from reality, his lifetime, to non-reality, his Dream. Now, as you READ my story, let your Mind drift with the Thought that Life, in itself, IS a Dream and all that you see and hear is only an extension of your OWN dying self - NATHAN CHARLES SOLLISH, AUTHOR
