Who He Used to Be
He reached into his pocket and held the small photo up before I could ask anything.
// Story
This story imagines, it does not document. It is what the photograph made me feel.
It is him, decades back, with a dark mustache and a steady stare. I focused on the picture and let his living face blur, which felt like the honest thing to do. Two of him in one frame, and he wanted me to see both.
