When I was finally able to relax, my mother had come into my room without knocking and sat on my bed. She looked at me, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from her pocket, and lit one. I watched the smoke twirl and then fade into the air before she spoke.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2nNpTvzK6

To the untrained ears, her question sounded normal. But I knew what she was asking. Things were never anyone else’s fault, always mine. She would tell me my dad drank because I was such an awful child, but I didn’t believe that. He drank because he turned into an asshole and wanted to hurt his family.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRYw8CFQF

I couldn’t tell her. There was no way she would believe me. I bit down on my cheek and said, “I don’t want to talk about this now. I’m tired. Can you please get out?”139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMNljE7m5

Surprisingly, she listened. After the door shut, I collapsed onto my bed and shut my eyes. I wished I hadn’t fallen asleep.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cbsHCnRoV

Something about this was familiar, but I couldn’t place it. I stood with my hand on the doorknob, ready to turn it. When I did and it opened easily, there was no one in it, just a desk, papers covering it, and a lamp.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVNvVXmUnV

Backing out of the room, I wheeled around to face him. He was standing against the wall, his eyes frightened. He went to ask me what I was doing here, why I was doing this, why—139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJEjA5fghF

It didn’t matter anymore as I pulled out the gun and shot two rounds into his chest. I watched his body slam back, blood spluttering from his wounds. He was dead before I stepped over him and out into the night.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7YN7mEwp

My eyes snapped open to meet the darkness and I sat up. For a moment, I had no idea where I was, but then it all came flooding back. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and dialed the only number I could think of.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW77sodvTr
