A button man is someone who will kill for you, being that my father was a made man. what’s a made man? did anyone ever see the godfather? my father would delegate to his button men.to make the hit only a ma...

Growing up in Bensonhurst, New York, where the mafia ran the neighborhood. One thing I have to say about them, they love to eat, drink, and they all have their entourage with them. I used to work in a bar, Tuesdays was sit down night. all the made men. gathered together. Joe blow, bill the fish, Louie the fish. Everyone had a nickname. I never knew their last names maybe because I did not want to ...

Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Tony always knew that the mafia had a presence in the area. He watched as his father worked long hours at a local construction company, struggling to make ends meet for his family. It wasn't until Tony's teenage years that he was introduced to the world of organized crime.

One day, while hanging out at a local pizza joint, Tony caught the eye of a mobster named...

Sleep with the fishes

What are your wishes

Just do the dishes

He says as she hisses

Don’t touch the gun

This isn’t a life of fun

Breathing under the sun

Curse of the first born son

Living life for death

Taking a last breathe

Praying to be blessed

Not like the rest

It’s hard being a traitor.

The police said, they will make me a new man. All my crimes will be forgotten. They said, my days of murder would be forgiven, if I became their rat.

And so like the coward I am, I agreed.

Even though I had bathed towns in blood, I didn’t want to clean it up, I just wanted to run away. But running away was expensive, I had to eliminate my ‘family’ first.

First, I had...

Joe never thought that he would ever be in such a odd situation. Since I have been narrorating my little wierd creation, I don’t seem to remember him telling his grade three class on “Carrer Aspriations Day” that he was super psyched to ever find himself blindfolded, bond at his hands and feet, while hanging upsidedown in his uncle’s warehouse on the docks. He is a strange charachter in this littl...

There are only two ways out of this business. Die or turn snitch, and I’d rather blow my brains out than go Judas. And so, that’s what I’ve decided to do after this job. The points I’ll score on this one will set up my wife and kids for life. I ain’t letting my kids grow up to see their old man as a fraud, and Julie… she’s had enough drama for a lifetime. It’s what’s best. The family takes care of...

Ever since I can remember, my dad has been a criminal working for the Italian mafia. I’ve kept my distance, living with my mom, who divorced him years ago. But my dad has been reaching out to me recently; I’m uneasy with his overtures.

I’m meeting him tonight. I thought I’d give him a chance to be a father. He wants to explain things, he says. I fear he wants to recruit me. I have skills, but I do...

“NO!!”

“Please, Miss Valentina, we just need a stand-in.”

“I do not want to have anything to do with my brother’s business! I can’t believe you’ve found me. If my brother finds out that you have been harassing me and my family…”

“Please, we will not cause trouble. It was actually your brother, the boss, who had sent us. In fact, your brother is actually about to call you.. right about.. now.”

“We’re going to die” Cole said as he paced the small room.

“No we’re not, you’ll probably just lose a hand” I replied, “And can you please sit down”

“How can you be so calm right now?” He practically yelled at me. “We stole a car from a mafia boss!”

Before I could respond the only door to the room opened, and a large man walked in. He looked annoyed and glared at Cole before saying,

“The boss ...
