It's been quite some time since I've had the opportunity to contribute anything to SOL, but this story came to me in such perfect clarity that I felt compelled to write it down. Three thousand words and a few hours later, here we are.
The parody is very much inspired by what is happening right now: the football World Cup is constantly on the television, watched avidly by my family, and I am doing some work in sports journalism myself, so this is a kind of venting of frustration, on several levels.
I hope you enjoy it… and I hope that I have the opportunity this summer to finish off a third story, which has long been in the editing process.
