In prep school I became a close friend of Brian Meadows. His mobility impairment was obvious. Over time its cause became evident as he described a peculiar turn of mind shared by generations of privileged ancestors whose story reaches back well into 18th century France.
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons or situations other than those that are clearly general knowledge is pure coincidence. The story is excerpted and adapted from my much longer novel "Buddies." I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.

El sonido del acero

El sonido del tic tac del despertador que se encontraba en mi mesita de noche resonaba en mi cabeza como cada mañana. Y al igual que siempre yo me había despertado antes de que este sonara dándome a entender que el dia habia empezado. Ese pequeño espacio en el tiempo entre la noche y el comienzo del dia me permitía pensar y reflexionar sobre diferentes aspectos de mi vida cotidiana. Esa mañana el tema principal en mi mente era pensar en cómo podría hacer para escabullirme de la brutal bronca que me caería por parte de mi padre al enterarse de lo que había hecho. Y justo antes que pudiera pensar en una excusa mínimamente aceptable sonó el despertador obligándome a levantarme de la cama y empezar miserablemente un día que prometía no ser muy bueno....Para saber más entra y sigue leiendo.
