Forensics

I still have the pin from my time competing in Forensics. My specialty was the category called Oral Interpretation. I remember the selection I chose. It was from David Wertheimer's 1965 novel, My Sweet Charlie. It was the climatic scene given in stream of consciousness depicting the death of a central character. "...And then nothing."

Thinking about it now over 40 years later, tears come to my eyes. I am overwhelmed with the theme of injustice, injustice we are still battling.

I don't remember how I placed. I suppose 40 years later, that isn't what matters.
