Fiction by Edwin M. Steckevicz
Download “Second Team” by Edwin Steckevicz
Last night I drove through a snowstorm to play basketball with my son. It’s thirty miles from my house to this weekly game at the university, and when I get there I use an alias. He doesn’t know I’m his father. We shake hands, slap each other on the butt after a good play – nothing special. Before last night we’d never had a conversation.
