The Nephew's Name- A Shenoy.

William D Reams was a satisfied man as he sweated out on the Boston marathon course. Life, as they say, had been very kind to him. He was a successful businessman, had a beautiful family he cherished, was healthy and athletic and had more money than he could hope to spend. What more could a recently retired man hope for? And today he was accomplishing a task that he had set for himself 25 years back, to finish the Boston marathon, counted among the toughest in the world.

Will had retired one month ago as one of the most successful CEOs of Specific Lodge publishing house. Will had married his college sweetheart Cheryl and had two kids. His son Joshua ran his own weapons manufacturing company and his daughter Emma was a super model. They were all there cheering and egging him on to finish the grueling run.

As he ran in the sun drenched path, music streaming into his ears, he thought of all the people who had made him what he was, who were inseverable parts of his universe. His dad David, mom Patricia and his brother Kenny. His heart skipped a beat as he thought of Kenny. As children Will and Ken were inseparable. Both were brilliant and extremely popular. Kenny had gone on to become a respected mathematician. Then, tragedy struck.

Ken was accused of murdering his colleague and stealing his work. Will stood by his brother steadfastly and told everyone who cared to listen that his brother was innocent. But Ken was convicted. Three months into his painful incarceration, Ken escaped and disappeared with his wife. He had heard from anonymous sources that Ken was in North Korea but didn’t know what to believe. He missed his brother dearly but believed firmly that one day their paths were destined to cross.

Tears were now streaming down his cheeks but he brushed them aside and jogged on. Running beside him now was a fine young man,barely 20. Will looked at his fellow runner’s face and saw an unmistakable similarity to his brother. Confused, he looked down and glanced his play list and a flicker of joy, of madness, of sheer pleasure crossed his eyes. He ran over and asked “Tell me boy, aren’t you Boole? And isn’t your father Ken D Reams?” The boy was shocked but replied in the affirmative.

Each man’s face was awash with tears of joy as introductions were made, love renewed and stories shared. Will learn that his brother had indeed gone to N. Korea where he was welcomed by the dictator Ping Pong Ill, he now held a high post in dear leader’s office. They completed the marathon together and promised to keep in touch. Soon it was time for Boole to leave. As he waved goodbye he asked Will “Tell me uncle, how did you know that my name was Boole?” Will smiled and replied, “I just knew my boy.”

Will had decided that he would take the secret behind how he found his nephew’s name to his grave. He stepped into his car and played the song that was now his favorite and was washed over by Billy Joe Armstrong’s voice

“Boole-ward of bro-Ken D Reams….”
