The Quiet, Lonesome Nights

A brief 700 word short story about a young boy in the 50's escaping to a park's clocktower in desire of optimism and hope to free himself from his struggles. Some inspirations from J.D. Salinger's 'The Catcher In The Rye.' Content marked as profanic as there are a few insensitive terms used to indicate the offensive nature of the past and to characterise the setting as a negative and inhumane one
