Where Am I?
A Short Story

In this short story, a traveling businessman settles into yet another motel room. This one just like every other one. Same dull curtains. Same faded wallpaper. Same stale stink. As the world moves on in a rush outside the motel door, he assesses his career and his life, asking, "Where am I?" Alfred C.

Mr. Martino was born and raised in Short Hills, New Jersey, and graduated from Millburn High School.
