The Centenarian is a work of fiction. It is a story within a story. It’s not the first story I’ve written but hopefully it will be the first to be published. I plan to post excerpts from this work periodically in this post. Please feel free to give constructive feed back, it will be much appreciated.
Finn O’riley is one hundred and fifteen years old. He lives in a retirement home in Key West Florida. When previously unknown family members show up at his home the story of his remarkable life unfolds in the telling to his great, great, great grandson.
Jack Parker, at fifteen years old, has barely started his life’s journey. Although he tries to handle the problems he has gotten himself into he quickly feels things are spiraling out of his control. Jack can’t understand how this old man he has been left with can relate to, and help him out of a bad situation.
