The Long and Winding Road

By: Harris, Lionel Barry

Without apparent rhyme or reason, a young black army corporal is assigned the somber task of escorting the body of a fellow African-American soldier to Chicago, Illinois. Stationed in San Antonio, Texas (specifically, Fort Sam Houston), the corporal neither knows the deceased soldier, and nor is he, himself, a native of Chicago. Therefore, the selected escort is immediately taken aback by the venture. Personally, he considers himself inadequate and altogether miscast in the endeavor. However, upon being privy to an in-depth view of the corporal's foregoing and current life, he could very well be underestimating himself. The distinct path that was travelled by the reluctant escort, replete with numerous peaks and valleys, might have groomed and well-prepared him for his mission. To say the very least, however, for the corporal - it was a LONG AND WINDING ROAD.
