      The Final Wave - Damien Wren

      The Final Wave

      Copyright Damien Nathaniel Wren 2011

      Smashwords Edition

      Please, Daddy?

      Jensen – a tall, hefty man of 30 years – looked down at the 10 year old. His expression softened. Gently, he reached down with a hand that seemed monstrous next to the little girl’s head – carefully lifting her chin with a curled, thick, index finger. His smile conveyed the love he felt for his daughter. He choked back a tear as memories of her mother came flooding in. She was a spitting image.

      Please? she repeated.

      OK, baby. I’ll be back to pick you up at 5:30, then it’s dinner, practice, and straight to bed.

      Thank you, Daddy! She squealed as she leapt up – kissing him on the cheek. Wasting no time, she snatched up her doll and her bag and ran off to join her friends.

      The doll outstretched its arms to the man as the girl ran. It’s not fair! You know I’m going to regret this! it snorted. Turning to the little girl’s ear it took a more tentative tone – throwing in a shudder for emphasis. Can’t we talk about this? it asked – and the girl and the doll both broke out in uproarious laughter.

      Jensen – in a rare moment in his life – just smiled.

      Walking back to his car he watched as a group of boys played a game of street basketball nearby. The boys were playing the same as they did every evening after school.

      Troy executed a pump-fake once, then again.
