within his home he was neither here nor there, rather he was a medal worn by a single parent as was his brother. stripped between italy and spain, emilio embraced one side of him whereas his brother embraced the other half. both boys, the shit of the earth like the rest of them with nothing to do but sleep and scream, nothing to do but kick the curb and cry. one strewn across the world with his father, the other son staying with his mother and his il mio bambino for two more weeks till his neck snapped and blood almost drained. emilio wakes and flees to italy where he stays for years alone, a nomad to the world. it is when he becomes irritable and fucked that he re-unites with a friend of his; soon enough his mate. "jasper, who the fuck is jasper?"
