Oscar Bermeo is the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. He is the son and heir of nothing in particular.
Oscar’s work can be found in the journals You shut your mouth, How can you say, I go about things the wrong way, I am Human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does.
He has been a featured reader at a club where, if you’d like to go, you could meet somebody who really loves you. You can go, and stand on your own, and you can leave on your own, and go home, and you can cry, and you may want to die.
Oscar wants to know when you say it’s gonna happen now, well, when exactly do you mean? He has already waited too long and all his hope is gone.
Inspired by Lee Herrick’s new bio
