Now with a death sentence on his head and ten minutes on the clock he bids farewell to his 7-year old son, Henry. The two playfully pass the time, busting each others balls, with disposable words, and laughter, before a social worker alerts them in reminder of their last ten minutes together. Henry thrusts into pleading frustration, scratching the surface of what lies beneath the lonely boy, a deep seeded need to be with his dad. Bobby tries to make use of the time for any last lessons he can bestow his son, knowing that at this point its too late, and bad choices were made, bad examples were set. When an officer, steps in and cuts their visit off. Henry and Bobby come together for one final moment when Henry remembers one last thing, he can't tie his shoe. With permission from the officer, Bobby gets down on one knee to teach his son one last lesson before he's taken away. When he's finished, and the boy nods confidently, Bobby steps out with the officer, to face his fate. In the end, Henry stands alone in the empty room, the social worker gives Henry permission to take his time, and we share a moment of silence with the boy. The little boy will be left alone, one shoe tied, one undone, waiting to meet his long and lonely journey of life. Written by Deborah V See less
