Cruel

Of all the toys I wanted back then, I wanted nothing more than a pro-spec remote-controlled vehicle. It didn’t matter what it was: an rc helicopter, off-roader, speedboat… anything would have worked for me. We could never really afford one, of course, so I made a promise to myself that when I grew up and made enough money, I’d get one. Twenty-five years and a considerable number of paychecks on, I still can’t afford my most coveted toy. Life sho’ is cruel sometimes.
