 Slumped on the cold jailhouse floor, 
her hair matted with blood and vomit, 
the pitifully scrawny young woman shook 
uncontrollably from the effects of
 the previous night’s 
alcohol and cocaine binge.


To a passing stranger, 
the ravaged figure 
wouldn’t have merited 
a second glance. 
Yet this wasn’t
 just another destitute junkie – 
she was the daughter of 
John Clease.



much ado about nothing.
