Good Deeds

[first lines]

Wesley Deeds:
[narration] My name is Wesley Deeds the Third. I grew up fifth-generation Ivy League graduate. I can tell you my pedigree all the way back to the tribe that my greatest grandfather came from. I was born into privilege, groomed by my father to be a businessman, to take over his company, groomed by my mother to be a gentleman. I was told where to stand and how to dress, how to cut my hair, and what I would be doing for the rest of my life from the time that I was five years old. And right now, I seem to be on track - whose track I don't really know. By this time, my mother thought I should be married, and according to my life schedule, that's four months away. I'll be marrying her, Natalie. She's amazing. We're perfect together. With a life like mine, you'd think that I wake up happy every day, but I don't. My life is perfect, but I often wonder, am I living my own life or the life that I was told to live?
