Drayton Clarke is a child prodigy; a shining star in the realm of academic achievement, sheer brilliance, and overall intellect. None of which means a damned thing in the hood. Books don’t fight for you, skipping grades don’t feed you, and big words don’t keep you from being shaken out of your sleep with some strange man looming over you, butt naked with bad intentions. Surviving the worse may give you a rep, but that’s just one more reason for the ignut to come at you. Armed with nothing more than their most intelligently spoken line, “you think you something, don’t you?” those with no foreseeable future, a past worth celebrating, nor present worth living through, exist for no other reason than to see to it that you don’t. This story is not for the feint at heart. Had the hero of this saga not been strong, he wouldn’t have survived long enough to tell you about it. Yet, he was and so, he has. Straight from the gut, Drayton Clarke gives you the hard hitting, gutter realities of a young boy born and raised in a small city in Georgia; Hell Town he coins it, the forgotten hood. From Lil’ Dray at seven, to full grown Drayton Clarke at thirty, he brings you truths that no decent parent, or concerned citizen wants to believe exists, and every politician and government official is doing their damnedest to keep you from finding out. Real talk, real situations, real life. Drayton Clarke, Tools of The Trade, is a fictional account of a whole lotta facts. A tale of a boy as he grows into a man by experience first, then an age that follows. Journey with him if you can and witness the development of a stone, cold killer who could decipher the code of the cosmos faster than you could blink, re-write the karma sutra on a whole ‘nother level, and warn you of your eminent death in seven different languages years before he was old enough to drink, drive, or vote. |
