Brodrick Sheffield is a black veteran living in east texas who was displaced into homelessness on Jan 31, 2021 during a pandemic. Brodrick has been the victim of a conspiracy of sorts for years, and now decides to record the accounts. Had he took track of them earlier, perhaps he would be able to find someone to help him against the villians who constantly sabotage his life. The villians, whom he calls sabotagers, are not just strangers, but even family friends and lovers. Brodrick hurts now after being left for dead by his mother, lover of ten years, and everyone he has known. Still alive he must do what he can.

Brodrick goes into ez-mart on Pine Tree road, selects his items, and goes to the counter. There is a man drinking coffee directly facing the area where a person would pay. This makes Brodrick upset, because he knows this is being commited purposely. The Cashier doesn't greet me or say anything at all, and the man with coffee is less than a foot from Brodrick to where he cannot even extend his arm fully and finally Brodrick ask him to step aside. When the toothless coffee sipper does step aside, though not far, Brodrick must tell the man to move again to exit the store.

Later that day Brodrick goes searching for a cheap hotel room at 1:00, and calls the cheapest place in town, Guest Inn, to which they reply that i cannot buy a room until 3 o'clock, and they state rooms will be availble. Brodrick makes the trek across the other side of town on feet cold and pissed that people going the same direction don't give him a ride. He makes it to the Guest Inn around 3:30 and the person in the lobby ask if she can help him. "No rooms are availble". The ragged hotel worker says to Brodrick. "I just spoke with someone who said yal would have rooms". Brodrick speaks out trying to hold back hysteria. "Who did you speak with". The ugly worker says as she goes outside sits down and smokes a cowboy killer. "I don't know". Brodrick says to her before sitting down on some bricks.

Brodrick calls him mom and ask if she can go half in on a room and she agrees. She picks him up and then they drive to the Sunset Inn which is back to the other side of town where he works. His mom did not have her purse but they stopped by the hotel before she goes to get her wallet. The attendant comes out looking unruly with a red dot on his forehead and won't give Brodrick a key for half the money until his mom can go and get the rest of the money. The dotted attendant agrees to hold the room, which is a 2 bed room as they do not have any single rooms. Previously on Feb 5th, it was the exact same situation with this hotel, they only had 2 beds not single bed rooms. Brodrick's mom drops him off at the Mobil gas station while she goes to get her purse, and they make it back to Sunset Inn less than 20 minutes later. Readers can guess what happens next. "can I help you" the attendant ask as if he never seen Brodrick before. "Yeah I was coming back for the room." Brodrick said trying to not be annoyed at Mr. Dot."We no have room". The dotted attendant replies while visually showing satisfaction. Brodrick asks what is he talking about and after 2 mins of him saying something about rent and speaking inaudibly, he says someone came and bought the room within that small time span. After 3 days of being vacant someone came and got it within 20 minutes of Brodrick requesting the room and trying to put money down on the room.

Brodrick would get a room at the motel 6 which he had previously stayed on the Fifth and had enjoyed, but this night the room's A/C machine was inoperable, and the TV only had 3 channels none of which showed anytype of entertaining TV.

This is a day in the life of a sabotaged black man living in East Texas. You can call him crazy, but when a person looks at all this logically only a insane person would think this is not a conspiracy or something of the sort. Brodrick doesn't know exactly what it is,sometimes good bones are thrown, but they don't outwiegh the bad, but not knowing what exactly is going on doesn't mean something isn't going on.
