teenage communist

only nineteen reading Marx
she was calmly pronounced a communist
by her ever patriotic American family

arguing was useless
she laughed so hard

how would she get the grades they demanded

if she blew off class 

assignments?

Maze 2:11:2 Storytelling

Book Two

Chapter 11

Part 2

In the last episode 2:11:1 we return to the story of Maze and his mother. She took him across the border via a coyote and they started over, and she got work in LA. On the surface his life looks common for a young American boy, until he begins leaving home all night, all the time. She doesn’t know where he’s been or what he’s been up to, and prays it’s not what she thinks. She searches his room hoping for any sign of typical teenage angst and rebellion but finds none. She thought she was protecting him by leaving Mexico, but she realizes she cannot protect him from himself.
