Concrete Savior
“Casey said. “Not like this.”
His reflection stared back at him through a layer of steam but didn’t answer, so he sighed and wiped at the mirror with a towel. What he saw there was clearer, but any responses to the questions ricocheting inside his brain were just as muddled as before. Now would be a good time to have a brother, he thought, or that elusive father figure who had disappeared from his mother’s life long before Casey himself had been born. Difficult things like the ones weighing on h...im this morning—like right and wrong—were, he imagined, what fathers and sons talked about. And sports and fishing and school and girls, and probably a couple thousand others about which Casey had no idea. Because, as was common knowledge in his family, his father had been a no-show from just about the minute his mother had stupidly given the guy the go-ahead twenty-five years ago.
But today’s problem wasn’t about his father, or his mother being too easy a target for some good-looking guy with a wandering eye, or even about Casey at all.MoreLess
