About this ebook
Teen, Young Adult, or Adult Fiction
Synopsis: a man is beaten to death by three prison guards on the 15th anniversary of the day he met the one love of his life. He had written a letter to his lover with a poem, and an investigative reporter finds the woman and sends her the letter...we go back to the beginning and relive their story in the woman’s memory.
This is a short story inspired by a real event that occurred on August 26, 2015, National Cherry Popsicle Day, in the Santa Clara County Correctional Facility, CA USA
It was written one chapter per week in August 2020, following 3 consecutive short story prompts from Reedsy’s weekly short story contest, without knowing what the prompts were going to be. So, the second and third chapters were written as sequels to the first, making three stories. The first and third chapters are general fiction, while the second is romance fiction.

"I believe in every person's potential to develop in any field, and I believe in Morocco's ambition to become the link between Africa and the rest of the world. To do this, Morocco needs the English language, and this has become my reason and purpose: to help individuals to improve their communication skills in English, and in this way, to also help Morocco."Ali Anthony BellAli Anthony Bell has been teaching English in Morocco since 2010. An American expat, he left the USA in 1983 for Paris.
