Last Thing on My Mind

A young boy and an older man stand on a rural road, looking down. The boy wears a stained sweater. They are beside a stone wall and green fields under a cloudy sky.

A 10-year old Irish boy stands crying at the side of the road. A man passing by asks ‘What’s wrong, lad?’ The boy says ‘Me ma died this morning.’ ‘Oh bejaysus,’ The man says. ‘Do you want me to call Father O’Riley for you?’ The boy replies, ‘No tanks mister, sex is the last thing on my mind at the moment.’
