Havana
An extraordinary life: the currency upon which men in the shadows were
built. Ironic, considering how hard we tried to live, breathe, and act behind
obscurity. What I wouldn’t give to be an ordinary man, living an unremarkable
life.
The bell tower from the nearby church rang, a relic reminding those who
could hear it of the time—high noon. Like most of Latin America, Cuba was
steeped in Catholic traditions, pressures that guilted the living from those
who’d turned to dust. I would know. I wasn’t proud to admit it, but I
succumbed to the pressure every now and then. Who was I kidding? It was a
compulsion. Call it insurance just in case they were right.
I looked up at the blue Havana sky between the rows of preserved Spanish
colonial-style buildings painted bright colors, stamping them with Caribbean
identity. The blistering heat was a reprieve from the bone-chilling cold of
Boston’s brutal winter. There was no getting used to that weather, but if there
was one great byproduct of New England’s winter, it was the prolonged
darkness where I found my solace.
Sweat trickled down my forehead into the slanted crease above my left eye.
A scar. A daily reminder of what could happen if I let my guard down. After
quenching my thirst with a gulp of lemonade sweetened with fresh sugarcane
juice, I leaned back in the iron chair, soaking every bit of sun I could take until
my skin punished me with a burn.
Far away, a speeding car revved, making me uneasy. Its tires kissed the
road with haste and purpose. It sounded heavy, possibly an SUV. It could be
nothing, but I kept my ears and eyes on high alert.
