Once Upon August

Jerry Cosgray was an intelligent, sensitive only-child brought up in the relatively tough streets of 1960s Brooklyn, NY. While always feeling like a bit of an outcast, his chameleon-like abilities enabled him to fit in with the local kids adequately enough. But every childhood comes with a host of challenges. And the biggest problems that most kids encountered in Jerry's neck of the woods, were their interactions with neighborhood bullies. His neighborhood was full of them. While most of the other kids were able to brush off the intrusive events as just a normal part of growing up, Jerry couldn't. In fact, he began making mental notes even as an adolescent, about each and every incident that disrupted his everyday life - and about one event he'd witnessed, in particular. With total determination, he stored them all away in a special place in his mind that he knew he would access at a later date.

As an adult, Jerry achieves great success and wealth. But along with his financial means came a host of psychological changes, and a fixation on alcohol. When Jerry's resurrected memories are added to the mix, the perfect storm is created. He begins to believe that the only way to heal old scars, soothe his psyche, and exact the appropriate vengeance for what was done to him, and other innocents harmed, is to seek out some of those responsible - IF they were still alive. Jerry slowly and methodically begins developing 'The Plan, ' in a way that would make the CIA or MI6 proud. Everything falls into place perfectly...or does it? As his memories are manifested, Jerry has difficulty controlling his impulsive reactions to new events. Slowly but surely his agitated state of mind begins to interfere with his present conditions and his obsessive mission at hand...
