    GREG It is funny how all those obstacles that stop you from having a good time when you're adult have very little impact on you as a kid. I almost laughed bitterly as I sat on the soaked bench and stared at the two boys on the basketball court. They were covered in mud from head to toe and the shorter one had a pretty bad wound on his right knee with blood gushing from it down to his stained shoes. The T-shirts were hanging low on their bodies, completely drenched and ruined because of the dirt and grass stains. But none of that mattered for them right at that instant. I brushed the wet hair behind my ear and kept watching how those pre-teen kids were chasing the ball with the ferocity of young predators. Maybe I'm just being a drama queen and they are far away from me to be sure... but their eyes seem to exude the onset of what will turn into cruelty.

Somehow I'm convinced that even when he was at the nursery he had found a way to impose his authority over the other infants. He was a perfect leader in every way. I am not a small man by any standards but his well toned six packs, broad shoulders and lean musculature always made me feel inadequate. Dominic was handsome, charming, smooth talker and much more cunning than one would initially give him credit for. My brother needed just five minutes stay at any audience, crowd or circle in order to capture their attention. His place was definitely at the spotlight, to lead and enchant people with his rich, deep voice. Seriously, I spent the first nineteen years of my life sleeping at the same room with him and I don't think I ever saw a single fault in him. Dominic was a star athlete, academic prodigy and could do anything he set his mind on. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change my place with him and was not envious of his status as the golden boy in any way.
