John Hopkins

ED, 2014, A Portrait of a Young Man, acrylic on mylar, 24x37

John hopped into the front door and started his way upstairs. “Hi, John!” Mrs. Mom said. “Oh, hi, Mrs. Mom! I came to see Evan.” “It’s ok but you may have to wake him up.” “Oh he knows that I am coming.” “Good, come every afternoon, then…”

A minute later John hopped downstairs making his way towards the front door. “Hey, John, how are you doing?” “I am doing good, Mrs. Mom,” John answered a bit nervously. “What school are you at?” “John Hopkins.” He looked handsome and clean in his sky-blue polo and snow-white shorts. “How is everything on this end?” he asked loosing his tone and sticking a little package into his pocket. The host of ghosts swirled around Mrs. Mom’s head. “We are doing great, John,” she smiled and nodded her head.
