Silent Green - Prequel - How Henry Got Mad

Before he became a fuse with a long memory, Henry was just a retired guy in San Jose. Tennis in the morning. Coffee with the neighbors. Newspaper ink on his fingers and a front stoop with a view.

Then came the tents.

The graffiti.

The porch pirates.

The "restorative justice" that restored nothing but chaos.

Told with razor-sharp wit and gut-punch poignancy, Silent Green - Prequel - How Henry Got Mad chronicles the slow, grinding descent of a once-charming neighborhood into a bureaucratic hellscape of unchecked crime, rising filth, and disappearing civility. Every chapter draws from real-world headlines and policies-the kind that made good people stop nodding "good morning" and start checking the locks twice.

This is Henry's story. The story of a man who watched his city rot from the inside out. The story of what happens when reason is dismissed as cruelty, when law becomes optional, and when one man decides he's had enough.

It's not a warning.

It's a reckoning.

And it starts with a garden hose and a skell who wouldn't move.
