The tale revolves around a harrowing incident that transpired during the narrator’s boyhood. A seemingly ordinary day took a sudden, sinister turn when a tragic accident occurred involving a truck driver, a life taken, and a body callously discarded in a nearby yard. The innocence of the children who had never set their eyes upon a skeleton or encountered the stark reality of a deceased human was both touching and revealing. In their sheltered world, the concept of death and the human body’s inner structure remained elusive, concealed behind the veil of childish curiosity. This was a generation untouched by the sobering truth that life’s journey inevitably encompasses both beginnings and endings. Available on amazon https://a.co/d/9c5kiRy
