The Boy With The Hole In His Chest
By
Sid Nachman
This is a short story that evolved out of a relationship I had with a man named Vinnie with whom I shared a cell with when I was serving a thirty-day prison term for not paying college tuition on time. It’s how I imagined, in my own version of a grandmother’s fairy tale, he might lead his life. It’s about a boy who loses his father, a mother who needs a man in her life and a murder. The story takes place in the Kensington section of Philadelphia.
