Behind the White Walls
Walter was one of those guys.
Somehow, he, an orphanage kid, always managed to turn Liliana's head, she who was usually so aloof.
Even my sister, always my ally, turned her back on me for him.
I confronted him once.
After that, Walter got the rough end of the stick at school.
Rumors flew that I could not stomach him.
By semester's end, he had had enough and leapt from the school's rooftop.
He survived, without a scratch, but he left behind a letter, a letter that screamed accusations at me.
