I NEVER THOUGHT I’d have a story worth telling, at least not one about
me. I always knew I was different, but until I discovered I had my own
story, I never thought I was anything special. My destiny began to unfurl
during my very last game at school. What started with an accident on the
court ended with the single most devastating look I ever got from my father.
And it made me want to die.

At the game, I’d scored twenty-two points, which already topped my
personal best by a basket, and I showed no signs of slowing down. Every
time I sank the ball, I could hear a lone deep voice begin to cheer a full
second before the rest of the bleachers chimed in. Dad’s voice was hoarse
from screaming, but I could still tell it was him, because no one else there
would bother to remind me to follow my shot or get my hands up for
defense.

I ran down to the other end of the court and posted up under the basket,
and I caught him out of the corner of my eye. He was sitting in the remote
upper lip of the bleachers, in his usual spot, away from everyone else. The
crowd was sparse up there, which he said gave more room for a man of his
considerable size to spread out, stand every few minutes, and stretch his
back. The truth was that the extra room also made it harder to tell that
people were uncomfortable sitting close to him.

I was surprised to see a young couple sitting near him that night. The
husband would occasionally turn around to agree with my dad on a call or
congratulate him when I made a shot. They were probably parents of one of
the freshmen on the team. Didn’t recognize my father yet.
But I got the feeling they found something about him familiar. Like
someone they’d seen on TV, in a movie, a local politician, or someone
vaguely famous. They would have recognized him right away if he’d been
wearing his mask. My guess is he’d probably saved their lives at some
point. Dad always ran into people whose lives he’d saved. I could tellbecause his left jaw would clench, just a smidge, a bicuspid ground into a

molar—a telltale sign that he was either going to be ignored, maligned, or
dismissed by someone who was only still breathing by the good graces of
my father’s actions.
