MoreJames Semprevivo, a.k.a. Jimmi Sixes Timeline and Summary
- Jimmi is an eighteen-year-old war vet who's already seen a girl blown up in front of him when we meet him. He's depressed, confused, and addicted to drugs.
- He flushes his stash down the toilet, trying to kick the habit, but regrets it soon after—he's not sure he even has anything to live for.
- One day by the VA hospital, he meets a newspaper girl named Fatima. She makes him a paper angel from her newspapers and he releases a bunch of them into the sky for people to see.
- He's friends with Joe, who owns a convenience store around the block, but when Joe dies unexpectedly, Jimmi becomes more depressed and doesn't know if he wants to keep on living.
- Jimmi goes looking for drugs but finds a gun instead. He plans on using it on himself, but decides to give Joe a proper send-off first.
- Jimmi sees Mik and Fatima's mural and thinks it's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
- Shanelle's mob cuts Mik, and at the last second, Jimmi runs in and rescues her, taking her to his cave to lay low.
- In the meantime, word gets out that Jimmi has kidnapped Mik, and everyone takes to the streets in search of him. When they find him, they attack.
- The mob kick sand punches Jimmi and hangs him. Suddenly, Fatima appears and stands in between the mob and Jimmi, demanding they release him.
- Jimmi is pulled down and taken to the hospital, where he accidentally mentions Fatima to someone who calls immigration on her.
- He's depressed that he had a hand in Fatima's deportation. Jimmi goes by Mik's house, wailing about something or other, hoping someone will listen. Mik hopes her mom will listen this time, too.
