21 Park Place

by Mike Bozart

Way back in January of 1860, in New York City, a 16-year-old lad begins to think that his fate in America won't live up to his dreams. He then goes missing one snowy evening. When he is found, no one can forget the sight. Approx. 1300 words. Based on a real-life event that was printed in the New York Times. No sex. No violence. No drugs or alcohol. No foul language. If this little tale were a movie, it would probably be rated PG-13.
