The Other Thief: an Easter Sunday Monologue

About the Author

February, 1975: Geno Allen was born in a small-town hospital in a rural community in Oregon under somewhat extraordinary circumstances. His mother hemorrhaging, Geno suffocating, the doctor's expectation was neither would survive. In a moment that was later described by the doctor as "miraculous", the hemorrhaging stopped on its own, and both came through unscathed.

Geno spent his childhood years on a small farm nestled beside a little river in a tiny valley. It was an idyllic place to inspire imagination, and any number of days his artist mother would keep him home from school for some "quality time". Quality time usually involved working on artistic projects or listening to her spin yarns about children living in the sea, or fairy's, or everyday animals doing uncharacteristic things.

Geno credit's his gift of story to those times with his mother. He began "writing" stories as young as he can remember. Unfortunately most of his early efforts never actually made it onto paper, but his imagination was creating worlds none the less.

When asked to sum himself up, Geno chuckled, sighed, shook his head and said, "How to sum up me? I love helping people when I can. I love to make people think, and probably more to make them laugh. I'm always hoping to help people understand how valuable they are. I didn't always understand that about myself and it produced some pretty dark times. I'm a pretty serious person--not that I'm pretty, just pretty serious--wrapped in an exterior that can often act a little goofy. (Here he smirked) Or... a lot goofy. Like both my parents--and possibly the Transformers--there's more to me than meets the eye."

Sum it up in one sentence.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked again. "I'm a character."
