Blown Up - Excerpt Sequin Boy and Cindy
Blown Up - Excerpt Sequin Boy and Cindy
I still don’t remember everything,
but I can piece together most of the tragic events that ensue according to
Cindy’s fellow soldier who accompanied her on the fateful trip. One day near
the holy city of Qom—the site of a nuclear bomb facility American bombs have
destroyed—Cindy is driving her armored fighting vehicle (AFV) to the site of a
place where her control has just radioed her that an IED has been diffused. She
spots the yellow teepee with the sequins sitting on a little rise in the sand
that I have left. She knows immediately upon seeing the sequins that this is
from me. She jumps out of her AFV, grabs the canvas, and looks at the note from
me. The note say, “I disarmed this at seventeen hundred hours and am heading
west. I love you.” Cindy looks at her watch. It is only 1720 hours.
Cindy jumps back in her AFV and
takes off at break neck speed, much to the surprise of the private with her who
says, “ Slow down. You’ll kill us. What’s the rush?”
Cindy had just gotten a field
promotion to corporal. She doesn’t bother to answer the private on the seat
next to her. In the distance she sees another AFV stopped at the side of the
road. Instinct tells her this is me. She races towards my AFV. As she
approaches I look up and see her driving towards me with her head out the
window of her AFV waving frantically. I start gesturing wildly with my hands
and shouting at her to stop, but I guess in her excitement she doesn’t
recognize I’m warning her to stop, to stay away from my location where I’m in
the middle of diffusing an IED. I jump up and start running up the road towards
her waving her off, shouting, “Stop, stop.” Just as we reach each other another
IED buried at the side of the road goes off. I must’ve missed that one.
I’m thrown in the air. All I can
feel is extreme pain shooting through my right leg. I have lost my leg up to
the kneecap and blood squirts from ruptured veins and arteries all over the
place. Cindy’s AFV is tossed in the air and crumples like an accordion.
Somehow, bleeding profusely, I drag myself the few feet over to her vehicle and
with all the strength I have left pull her vehicle door open and grab Cindy out
of her AFV. She has lost her right hand up to the wrist. This is the hand I
always hold.
“Don’t worry,” I cry as I tried to
stop her bleeding. “They will be here soon. We will be all right. I love you.”
Then I pass out from shock and loss of blood. The soldier with her later told
me that Cindy sat there half on top of me shaking and screaming, and clenching
her remaining hand over the stump of my shattered leg trying to stop the
bleeding. The stink of burning motor oil and smoke is everywhere. She was
shouting at him, “Get help, get help, he’s dying. I can’t stop the bleeding.”
She disregards her own wound. She is so hysterical I don’t think she fully
realized she’d lost her hand.

On The Beach - Excerpt from Sequin Boy and Cindyhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085M3BZ6.
I ask Cindy, “Can we come back next weekend?” I kept sifting the golden strands of sand through my fingers in disbelief at their sparkling fine-grained beauty. There is so much I know nothing about and so much I’ve missed. Where have I been all my life?
She kisses me gently on the cheek and says, “We can do anything you want, Lover Boy.” No one ever called me that before.
I say, “Guess what I want to do next, Cindy?”
Cindy giggles. “We can’t, Billy, people will see.”
I shake my head no. “We can do it under the blanket.”
“We’ll get full of sand, Billy.” I notice she is looking around for a private place.
“I don’t care, Cindy. I want to make love to you now. You said I could do anything I want.”
“Okay Billy, let’s go under the Boardwalk. You are getting me hot just thinking about making love. Tell me this will never change.”
“I promise, I promise. God you are so wonderful, Cindy. I’m so happy.” There’s a certain look that Cindy gets on her face when we are about to share the moment that I can’t describe. Ecstasy? I wish I was a painter.
We stay on the beach until the sun goes down. Then we stop for pizza at some stand on the boardwalk. The pizza is greasy, very cheesy and loaded with tomato sauce. We sprinkle the pizza with pepper flakes, garlic powder and oregano, making an aromatic treat that tastes great. We each have two slices, which we wash down with super sized cokes. Finally we take the Long Island Railroad home. I hold Cindy’s hand all the way. In spite of all the soda, my thirst for Cindy is insatiable. I can’t get enough of her.

Sequin Boy and Cindy
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085M3BZ6
I never thought anything good was
going to happen to me and then I met this girl.
I saw her standing on the other
side of the train platform at Jamaica Station, NY fidgeting with the torn
buckle on her faded blue backpack, waiting for the 5:35 to take her out to what
I later found out was a group home in Blissville, Long Island where she lived.
She’s a pretty girl with blond pigtails, big blue eyes and a great smile. And
yet I sense there is something sad or withdrawn about her. Guess that makes two
of us.
I think she is staring back at me.
Cindy is eighteen and works in
Jamaica as a dental assistant, a job I found out she detests because she’s
bored. I guess she can’t help staring across the platform at a strange looking
young man in a hooded sweatshirt who appears to have some kind of shiny colored
disks on his face, which are half hidden by the hood of his sweatshirt—that’s
me. My name is Billy Wolk. I’m half Native American Indian. I have spirit
Ancestors.
She must be thinking, what are
they, those ornaments on his face? I guess she’s wondering why this strange boy
is staring at her. Probably thinks
I look sad and alone. I am. I’m taken by the good looks of this thin girl who
occasionally smiles at me. I think she is smiling at me. It’s hard to be sure
from this distance. No one ever smiles at me. Sometimes they stare in
disbelief. I almost never smile.
Cindy says to herself, “what’s with
that kid staring at me? He has some weird shiny stuff hanging from his face.
I’m a little scared.”

Touching Private Parts - Excerpt Johnny Oops
Junior threw me off course when he interrupted
my thinking. I was talking to him so I decided to take a break and show my work
to Jody who said, “I can’t edit this. It’s off the wall. You’re on your own. If
I were you I would give serious consideration to staying on the lecture
circuit. You come off better when you can use your hands, and I don’t mean to
write with.”
I wasn’t listening to Jody. I was too busy
listening to the boy’s choir of greater San Diego perform the Hallelujah Chorus
on the radio. I was using the music to put me in the mood to write something
truly spiritual. As I got in the mood the title finally came to me. I call this
article, “Reach Out and Touch Someone.”http://www.amazon.com/Johnny-Oops-ebook/dp/B0041KL52M/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
“ I had a dream I was walking in a garden and I
came to a big hole in the ground that I couldn’t jump over. Then an angel came
to me and said, “Touch my hand.” I did and she lifted me over the hole. I felt
lifted up. I felt wonderful. If an angel can reach out and touch my soul, you
can reach out and touch someone else in their private parts. It may make you
both feel truly wonderful. It may give you the essential meaning of being.”

Excerpt From Johnny Oops - My Grandfather's Genes
As I got out of the shower I heard a car screeching to a halt in the driveway and my father pounding up the stairs shouting, “Johnny, Johnny, are you alright? Let me look at you. A teacher at your school saw the whole thing he said you were magnificent. I’m so proud of you.”
Dad grabbed me and hugged me so hard I was embarrassed. Had to push him away. I was still soaking wet with nothing but a hastily grabbed towel around my waist “It was nothing. I don’t know where I got the courage to do what I did.”
Dad stared at me and said, “Tomorrow you are going to find out. We are going to visit your Grandfather in the Hospital.”
Suddenly the image of my grandfather, Elijah Wilbert, flashed into my mind. I hadn’t thought about him in a long time. He was dying, and my father was taking me to the hospital to see him for the last time. Elijah Wilbert was a well-known Presbyterian Minister in Maine. I remember him as being kind of stern and rarely smiling. I’m fourteen years old and frightened by the specter of death.
He struggled to pull himself up in his hospital bed when he saw me; his shoulder length hair was all white and wavy. The room smelled antiseptic. He grasped my shoulder with his gnarled arthritic right hand, scaring me half to death, drew me close to his mouth, and in a soft voice whispered, “Always remember, Johnny, you come from good stock.”
I didn’t know what he meant at first, but driving home with my Dad I found his words very comforting. I got this big grin on my face. I come from good stock. I come from my father and grandfather’s genes. Means a lot to me. Means I’ve got a history. I’ve got the genes to do something worthwhile. I can be strong like my grandfather and father. I can make a difference. Must be God’s Will. Now it’s my turn. I just wish I knew what I’m supposed to do. Why am I sweating?
