Special

He sat on the on curb in front of his house watching as the other boys his age played a game of touch football. He never got picked for a side because the other boys said he was weird. He didn’t feel any different except for the way he walked with a limp of sorts, his mom said he was born a little more special than the other kids, but he didn’t feel special, he felt left out. All he could remember of his childhood years was sitting on that darn curb and being alone with only his thoughts and a strong desire to just be one of the boys. His teen age years didn’t change the way things were he was never asked to dance or play any sports, but he found a way to forget by reading books. He read tales of giant white whales and the adventures of two country boys. He became so obsessed with books he almost forgot what reality and fiction really were. As a man he began to write, he started with stories of his youth and the loneliness he lived daily. He wrote about feeling inadequate but knowing in truth he was not. He became a very famous author who wrote over thirty books in his lifetime many of which went on to become best sellers. He still walks with a limp of sorts but now its how people recognize him, that famous author with a special walk.
