Father & Son by Catherine Lim
Father & Son by Catherine Lim


In school he was neither happy nor unhappy. He avoided those
boys who teased him and tried to touch him. There was one, a
brutal-looking fellow with a powerful, atheletic body, who
stalked him during recess to tease him... He always did his work
well, although he never shone. He was always polite so his
teachers had no cause to be dissatified with him.
