One’s Posterity

The love of man, primarily the love within, is a deep interest to those who study the poetry of life. They constantly clash with those who have a love of philosophy, the realists people experience in many facets of life. Feeling the pain of time’s resilient control, Markos Solomons’ story unfolds as he nears the end of his life. Love and grief have both been cruel to him, but an opportunity arises as he inches closer to freedom. He has lived life, unimportant to most, but a sibling to one of the most polarizing figures of the 21st century.

By chance, he is able to detail the past to the family who once left him. Their desire to reclaim him as his time withers away opens up discussions of philosophy and love. They wish to know the exploits of his brother as he reveals secrets of the family’s rise into politics during the 2030s and 2040s. The future of his family begin to learn many things about Markos, ending their ignorance of the family name that means so much to others, but remains oblivious to them. Being a disturbed man, his experiences once forced him into a dark corner that left him closed off from the family for so long. While he reopens much of the interesting past, he leaves the unclosed wounds exposed, opening himself to pain once again.
