Big Ish

Big IshThere are men that walk this earth going mostly unnoticed and living peaceful lives while raising families, who slowly fade away when their time comes to an end as they breathe a final breath.Then there are those few that cannot go unnoticed, who no matter where they go, cast shadows so large and dark, that even if they wanted to hide, they could not. Nothing is balanced for them, and no one around them would feel safe if they dared to cross them.Ishmael Heald was one of those men, who despite wanting to do right by others, never seemed to be able to. He fought with the force of three ferocious men and consumed enough alcohol to kill a normal human, all while existing in a life that seemed more fiction than an actual reality.The loss of so much throughout his time and a constant battle from within that felt like the devil eating him away, filled his story with lessons that would last well beyond his death for this steel worker.
