Beckham paradise

it's 1980,and as usual the morning bell rings from the town church, pushing the sleeping birds to the sky as the sun opens its beautiful day on the streets of beckham,I rushed to my window to take a daily dosage veiw of the one and most fearsome Charles Dickson,although my mum caught me twice looking at him through the window a week ago and she gave me a steer warning not to do so as it would attract him and make him suspicious of us,but what can I say? you can't stop a fly from entering into the grave with a corpse,I hid behind the curtains and slide the window a little bit to see clearer as the morning is still filled with fog,and the door knot turns and Charles Dickson as usual walks out with pack of cigarette and a rosary on the other hand,he inhales the cool air in running out of breathe and then looks at the rosary and whispers to the wind he then lights his cigarette but the most amazing thing is that I never saw him take place the cigarette on his mouth he just let's it burn out and when it out he stomps on his like a furious bastard,sorry for my language.as I was in my daydream of being the next Charles Dickson someone whistled I looked down and saw Charles staring at me.i quickly went down to the kitchen to meet my mum ,like nothing happened .‘you missed the morning prayers again,were you up looking at Charles Dickson again' ‘no you've warned me not to do so and the commandment says we should obey our parents'i hate to get the morning speech so I do all it take to avoid them ‘thats my son now come dress up we are going to my friend's house today.just as I was about to climb the stairs up we heard a bang on the door,I bent down on the stairs and looked at the door and it was Mr Dickson,he came in like he owns the house ‘good morning ma,where is your son' ‘how he didn't get into trouble again or did he take what belongs to you' he kept his hands tucked in his trouser and walked around the sitting room,I was on the stair way shivering ‘he didn't get into trouble,I saw him staring at me this morning and I would love to see him up close' ‘i don't think he would want that,you know he is just being curious children that's how they behave,' ‘well I brought him some candy but since you said no just tell him I came by' candies there was no way am missing it even if am good to get some good whips for it I care less.i quickly ran down stairs ‘ who says am not at home,am right here.' ‘he is a smart kid,how about I take him for a walk,would that be fine' with a storm in my mother's eyes she said yes and for the very first time I felt I did the wrong thing by coming down the stairs just because of candies,my mother hands were shaking in fear as she locks the door and looks through the window as I walked along with him. ‘i saw you looking at me today through the window,why did you look at me and by my guess your mom might have warned you about me right? yes she warned me but guess what am not afraid of you,my friends told me you are evil,mean and brutal but all I see is a grown ass man who wakes up and take the fresh morning air and add up' ‘he stops and brings his hands out of his pockets turns me around and squats down and says‘when you grow up you will understand the meaning of what I do and why I do them but am not kind and you should always listen to your mother, because am mean and evil and the things I do are unspeakable now I will take you back to your mother and you won't look at me through the window again but first let's cross over to buy some coffee.he held my hand and walked down the street and opened the cafe store,‘give me two cups as usual ‘so you always come here to get coffee? yeah dont ask me questions,I ask you and you answer fo you understand ? ‘yes sir but before that i need one more answer.‘what is your to come out everyday and just stare blankly' he chuckled and smile as he take the coffee and hand me my own cup‘i don't drink coffee it's for adult I love icecream' coffee make you think straight he says as he opens tge door for me' ‘you see when i wake up in the morning I have three people in mind my mother, my father and my family,my mother always told me to pray and she gave me this cross before she passed away,andmy dad died of smoking too much cigarettes,so just to remember him I light up a cigarette everyday to show him he had the power to stop but he choose to die I hold the cigarette but I don't smoke in the eyes of many im dangerous but if only the Kno the important of me and my family I the town they would worship us.i like you kid but before I go on with my usual work I don't want you going around town telling people what we discussed,not even your mother,I hope to see you again someday.'he says as I knock on the door.my mother opens the door although I left for just a few minutes he held me like I was gone for over a decade and she was so happy but i knew it would end in tears also,she gave me a slap and Drew out her cane,I told you not to look through the windows but no you didn't listen.' she said as she caned me.
