Introduction
It was June 1, 2018, Lola's twenty-first birthday. Her Marafiki were celebrating with her. As they were enjoying some cake, John asked, "What was your life like before wewe met your band mates, Lola?" She said, "It was okay, I guess." Peter asked, "Was it as tragic as Paul's?" She said, "Not really. It had its good and bad points. Are wewe sure wewe want me to talk about it?" Allen said, "Yes." Erin said, "You haven't really told us much about your childhood." Lola was apprehensive. Paul said, "It's all right. wewe can tell us." Carl said, "That's right. We're your friends." Lola smiled and said, "All right. I'll tell you."

Lola's Early Life
I was born on June 1, 1997. I was an only child. My parents only wanted one child. Growing up, I did wish I had a younger brother au sister so that I'd have somebody to play with. Despite the fact that I didn't have any younger siblings, I was very nurturing from a young age. One day, I found an injured bird. She was unable to fly. I nursed her back to health and released her back into the wild. I also helped an orphaned raccoon. Once he was old enough to live on his own, I released him into the wild. The only pet I ever had was a gerbil. His name was Francis. Sadly, he passed after three years. Gerbils usually only live two years, so three is old for a gerbil. I always wanted a dog, but my father was allergic to them. I later learned that he wasn't the only one with allergies. One Christmas, I learned that I was highly allergic to pine. We had a beautiful pine mti as our krisimasi tree, but I had an allergic reaction. I became sick with a severe case of sinusitis, and I spent krisimasi in the hospital. Every krisimasi since then, we used fake trees. Despite the fact that I am the nurturer, getting people to like me wasn't always easy. I don't understand why. My teachers always alisema that I was the sweetest kid.

The siku after I was released from the hospital, my friend, Alyssa, paid me a visit. She said, "I just heard what had happened. Are wewe okay?" I said, "I'm badly hurt, but the doctor alisema I should recover." She said, "I'm glad for that. Why didn't wewe come to me instead of running away?" I said, "I just didn't think things through, Alyssa." She said, "Ellie, promise me wewe 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 wewe doing out here kwa yourself?" I faintly said, "I got Lost 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 wewe 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 nyumbani Saturday afternoon. Father was waiting at the door. He said, "Ellie, wewe 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 wewe 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 wewe 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 nyumbani that evening, Father got some alcohol to drink. One drink led to another, and the inayofuata thing I knew, he was shouting at me. He said, "Grandpa told wewe 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 wewe 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 inayofuata to him. One Sunday, he said, "Hi, Ellie. Why don't wewe jiunge me?" I did. Grandpa actually introduced Mother to the Beatles. I asked him about John Lennon's statement about the Beatles being "more maarufu 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 alisema that the Beatles are zaidi maarufu 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 maarufu 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 cabin, kibanda 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 zaidi in high school. I only dated once during high school, but it took a bad turn when she got her Marafiki 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 mwaka 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 siku 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 zaidi frequent. Other than my dog, Beatle, it was my only chanzo 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 siku 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 tarehe as long as I live. It was perhaps the worst siku of my life, the siku I had to kiss 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 nyumbani kwa 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 guitar, gitaa and the Two Beatles
December 8, 1980 was a tarehe 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 Jesus do such a thing?" The other kids ran away, and I got up. There was a man standing there. He was not particularly skinny au stout. He was clean shaven and had short hair, even shorter than my father's. He wasn't particularly short au tall. He appeared to be around sixty-two au 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 wewe 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 salama with her, mate." Allen...

It was summer. Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola went back nyumbani for the summer. One day, the four Marafiki had a gig in a neighboring town. The inayofuata 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 tamasha last night. We were quite impressed." Erin said, "We're glad wewe enjoyed it." Paul asked, "What was your inayopendelewa 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 sekunde semester of their first mwaka 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, wewe look terrible." He said, "Define terrible."...

After high school was over, the members of New Religion went to college and majored in music. Even though it was cheaper to live in the college dorms, pets were NOT allowed on campus, so Erin chose to live in an apartment, so that she could bring Fritz along. After all, Fritz was important to the entire band. Lola agreed to share the apartment with Erin. Paul and Carl got one, too. Luckily for the boys, they ended up with a really polite roommate. Erin and Lola, however, ended up with a roommate who wasn't very polite. She had numerous boyfriends, and it seemed every time Erin blinked, that...

Sometime after the incident, Erin learned that Phil was put in jail. She was glad that justice was served. Her injuries healed up, and she started her last mwaka of high school. One day, Paul asked, "Can wewe believe this is our last mwaka of high school?" Carl said, "No, I can't." Lola said, "Me neither." Erin said, "I'm actually kinda glad for that. I'm certainly not going to miss it." Paul said, "Me neither." The foursome had grown closer since Erin got shot. Paul was already close to Erin, but he became closer than ever to her after she had taken a bullet for him. When winter came, there was...

One night, Erin was walking downtown with her band mates and her new dog, Fritz. Suddenly, a boy of a similar age stepped out of the shadows. Erin instantly recognized him. She said, "Hello, Phil." Phil said, "Erin, I never thought I'd see wewe again. You're too busy hanging with this Paul guy." She said, "For your information, we happen to be best Marafiki and band mates." Phil sneered, "Yeah. He's the one who got wewe into this devil music." She said, "Paul didn't get me into it. I got into it on my own, and I highly doubt it's devil music, because it brought me and my Marafiki together, and...
