Seth’s parents ignore his birthday, but then his father reluctantly gives him an old motorcycle as a way of making things right. But after Seth spends months working on a special motorcycle restoration project, his father suddenly wants it back. Seth must decide whether to return the old Harley with ease or take his revenge…
When I turned eighteen, my birthday came and went without so much as a mention from my parents.
No cake, no cards, not one birthday present, and, of course, they didn’t even show up to my dorm room. I tried to play it cool, but honestly, it stung more than I wanted to admit.
The next morning, though, my dad called me to go over to their home.
“I’ve got something for you, Seth,” he said, tossing me a set of keys.
I caught them effortlessly, but I was confused.
“What’s this for?” I asked. They didn’t look like car keys, and I already had my mom’s old car anyway.
My dad nodded toward a dusty tarp in the corner of the garage.
It had been there for as long as I could remember, covering up something that I was told not to touch.
When I pulled the tarp off, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was my dad’s old Harley, a ’73 Shovelhead. It was the stuff of my childhood dreams, the bike that had always seemed just out of reach.
All I had wanted to do when I was younger was steal my dad’s leather jacket and sit on the motorcycle.
But he always shouted at me whenever I tried to touch it.
“If there’s one scratch on it, Seth,” he would say, “I’ll take all your spending money away.”
