Darkness For The Bastards Of Pizzofalcone (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
Usually he thinks about his papà, but now that his throat is screaming in agony and his body is wracked with shivers, he wishes he had Mamma lying beside him in his little bed. That’s what Mamma does. When she sees that he’s not well, or that he’s feeling sad, she lies down next to him and strokes his hair; now and then she puts her lips on his forehead, a gesture that’s midway between a kiss and a way of checking on his temperature. She sees without being told that something’s wrong, because he’d never tell her. Going to Mamma with a complaint is something little kids do, children who’ll never grow up; but she notices right away, all it takes is a glance, and then she lies down next to Dodo and strokes his hair. She doesn’t talk to him, she doesn’t tell him stories like Papà does, stories that make you open your eyes wide and hold your breath, but now that his life is a painful waking dream, now that he’s wrapped in a filthy blanket, in a warehouse that stinks of his own poop and hot pockets, what he wishes he could feel is his mother’s hand running through his hair.
