Chapter VII: Revelation Mitchell went from Brooklyn and the Board of Education directly to Presbyterian Hospital and his father’s room. He ran the last two blocks with his teaching assignment in hand, excited and proud. He would be like his father, a teacher. He had other reasons to be happy. He was brilliant, healthy, good-looking in his own way and a recent graduate of Columbia University, and as expected, he was number one in his class. He was heir to his father’s foundation and he was in love. For Mitchell Mitkin it was the future he courted, and all of it, stretched out in front of him, was beautiful. He believed in the perfection of man, in mankind’s ability to overcome nature. He was sober and yet able to wander into the spectacle of creation and its majesty, and there feel something like love.
I’m really enjoying the story and look forward to the installments each week!
