Bastian Boy

by Victor A. Davis

(SHORT STORY, part of Grains of Sand ) Until I grew up, I was always the big fish in a small pond in school. I am a fast learner and school bored me. This was my take, a rather negative take, on what I thought it might be like growing up struggling with the pressures of greatness. The main character, Bastian, gets into an unhealthy romantic relationship, tries constantly to please his father, but all he really wants to do is live a life of leisure in a beautiful place. I am very pleased to say that I have had a wonderful experience of growing up.
