LITERARY FICTION Short Story: When We Were Boys, by Joseph Michael Cerra

Joseph Michael Cerra “When We Were Boys”
Literary Fiction, 788 Words

A group of first-generation Italian-American boys spend their endless Pennsylvania summers playing baseball by day and listening to distant radio broadcasts by night, their games infused with imagination, hero worship, and communal joy. Only later do they understand the quiet weight of their father’s silence and his work-worn hands, realizing how adulthood transforms the timeless freedom of childhood.

  • On preparing for the physicality: “That lodges in your head—or maybe it’s throbbing in your head: You had a few too many drinks last night, so you go a little bit harder in the gym the next day… My ethos is I want to go to the gym as much as possible to allow for me to eat and drink as normally as possible—within parameters”.
  • On playing the Viking prince: “He has integrity… What Harald taught me was to work hard and to keep plugging away. Keep plugging away, get your head down and work hard”.
