Mmmm…. Tell us the story.

He stands, holding the silver casket,
trying to hide his expression
of joy, but wanting the world
to know he is full of joy.
His mom said, just before
he went up to collect the prize,
“Daddy and me love you deeply.”
She hugged him and tried
to hold back the tears
that flooded her eyes.
“Mom – are you ok?” he asked,
his voice conveyed a tiny fear.
His mother smiled,
as she kissed his cheek,
“Yes – ohhh yes !- beloved dear.”

trying to hide his expression

The next move is mine.
I have all the power ,there is no hurry.
I told them I wouldn’t.
I told them I didn’t want to.
I told them I just wouldn’t.
They told me, I had to.
Had to? Me? Who says?
I don’t want to be here in the first place!
It’s a stupid idea anyway.
And they’re stupid people.
Well, not all of them.
But most of them – and him especially.
Stupid man.
Stupid, stupid man.
What if I just put it down and ran?
Wonder if they’d do anything?
Stupid people.
Don’t want to do this.
Oh heck, they’re getting nearer.
Don’t WANT to DO this!
STUPID PEOPLE!
this is excellent.
i dont know if its the true story but it was/is mine when the limelight comes out.
Thank you, Opie 🙂
