Zakas - Welcome To The Club

I moved to Alaska with
a promise of a better job.
Six months later, it fell through.
I have a wife and three kids.
What was I supposed to do?
I met a guy that said I could make more
money in one weekend than I could all week.
Yeah, it's illegal but what was I supposed to do?
All I had to do was load baby seals in the
back of a truck.Then they offered me more
money to club them. What was I supposed to do?
Now when I look in my children's eyes, I see them.
When my children cry, I hear them.
Now I'm looking down the barrel of a gun.
I know what I have to do.
