Anthony Mastro

I guess I have been telling stories all my life but up until ten years ago I never put anything on paper. I started telling the local kids I played with stories of movies I saw. When I was working I told stories to the other men I worked with and later I told my grand children stories I made up on the fly trying to keep them from getting loud in the car waiting for their mother who was in the store. Now that I have the time I try to write something every day. I hope that it is entertaining for you.

He named him after the mailman who comes every day to deliver the mail to his house because the doll looks like him.

William and Gus are never far apart during the day or at night. You can find Gus lying on the pillow next to William's head. Gus came to William as a gift for his fourth birthday from his mother and father. When he opened the box that Gus was in and saw what it was he said, I want to call him Gus because he looks like Gus. And so the name stuck. The other presents were forgotten and left unopened until later when his mother made him stop playing with Gus to open them.

When playing cowboys, one of William's favorite games, Gus is always the bad guy and William is the sheriff chasing him. William would catch him every time and then Gus would escape and the game would go on.
