School
Gee! I don't know what to write here. Being a total nonentity, I really didn't have a school biography. Public school was just a succession of days to be born with patience in the knowledge that one's real life was yet to begin. The only thing that stands out was the joy of walking home on sunny afternoons. I left school behind like many a factory worker leaves behind the noise and smell of the plant. Only, I was too young to enjoy a cold beer! But in the essentials it was the same: a few minutes after getting home it was like there was no school at all. And that splended state lasted for at least a few hours when, going to bed, I woke up, after an all-to-brief unconsciousness, to the harsh light of a new school day. Blessed is the finitude of life that I no longer face such a thing!
