"You saved me from a world I did not belong to, a world I didn't want. You became my world. My everything. So for you I wrote this symphony of sounds. Follow your dreams, my love. Find your Serenity."

Rena lost her mother at the age of 5 and was left in the care of a guardian who wanted nothing to do with her. Lost and alone, she began to lose hope. Her world was gray until a pair of emerald green eyes ignited the rainbow once again. A childhood spent together, blossoming the seeds of love, only to be torn apart. He chose to leave to protect her, but at what cost? Will it cost him her love or will she hold on to hope of his return?

A/N - This is the "afterward" or true story of Rena Reyes from my crossover story. This is her past and what was meant to happen instead of meeting the Guardians.

After Greg, Lucia's father, left her and her mom, Lucia is left to pick up the slack after her working yet alcohol-addicted mother, working a 9-5 at a grocery store with an occasional sub art teaching at her former high school to pay for the rent, and maybe earn enough money for that art program. Her life just isn't working as she'd always hoped. Then again, she hadn't been much of a dreamer since she overheard her dad call her a mistake when he was arguing with her mom, but she at least hoped it wouldn't be this...messy. So, what's a mistake gotta have a dream for, right? Maybe wrong. Maybe right. Her life is upside down. Her relationship with God is a mess. Her relationship with herself is a mess. Heck, she doesn't even have friends for her relationship with them to be a mess. And maybe much won't change even after her supposed book-inspired night in shining armor appears. Who knows? But there is one place she doesn't feel a mess--The Saint Patrick's Cathedral. There is one being who's loved her despite not feeling loved--God, and there are people who love her-- Priest Dixon and... someone else (find out in the story). So come aboard on this rollercoaster and have fun. Passengers, please don't forget to breathe.

Step into the gripping world of "The Misery and The Cell," a play that unravels the haunting tale of Luca Moretti, a freelance Mafia hitman whose life is a tapestry woven with tragedy, violence, and the intricate web of organized crime. Born into the harsh realities of 1900s New York, Luca's journey is marked by the shadow of his father's alcoholism, abusive behavior, and entanglements with the Mafia, shaping his path into the criminal underworld.

Set against the backdrop of 1915 New York, the play delves into Luca's entanglements with various Mafia families, each offering him lucrative opportunities to carry out "favors" in exchange for substantial sums of money. As Luca becomes increasingly enmeshed in their world, he forges relationships with key figures from each family, gaining their trust and respect while also becoming privy to their internal conflicts and power struggles.

The story takes a dark turn as Luca's life unravels, leading to his imprisonment in Sing Sing Prison in 1934 for multiple murders he committed. Placed in solitary confinement for killing his cellmates, Luca begins to descend into madness as he awaits his fate in the shadow of the electric chair.

With a richly detailed portrayal of the historical context of the Mafia's influence in 1915 New York and the intricate relationships between the different crime families, the play immerses the audience in Luca's tumultuous journey, shedding light on the profound impact of his upbringing and the choices he makes as a hitman for the Mafia.

Through powerful storytelling, evocative dialogue, and dramatic techniques, "The Misery and The Cell" presents a poignant and thought-provoking narrative that captivates and resonates with audiences, as Luca grapples with his loyalties and confronts the consequences of his actions, all while teetering on the brink of insanity as he awaits his impending execution.
