This is the beginning of a short story depicting the emotional encounter a boy has with his biological father. With all the symptoms of a troubled teen headed for a bad place in life, all James feels the need for is to stand up to this man he is supposed to call dad and show him how unnecessary his role is. What James' father gives him instead is something that will change the fibers of James' attitude and the purpose of his every breath. Just a start. Let me know what you think.
