“Irony”
Fifty years have passed since D’s been in L.A. That’s why he stares at the cop who smirks at him as if not a day has gone by.
“Leon?”
“Detective Daniel Orcot. Leon was my father’s name.”
Underneath D, the ground becomes unstable.
“You must be Count D. Dad used to tell stories about you.”
“Where is your father now?”
On the way to the cemetery D hears about life. He hears about tragedies, challenges, victories, and a house filled with laughter and smiles. At the grave his knees give out. He’d thought Leon would be the one to break.
