~ Excerpt ~

 

June 7th, 1991, Hollister, CA. It was a sad day when Colin’s father died. Colin had no idea what occurred. He didn’t even hear his mom scream, cry or moan. If he did, it was blocked out of his memory. The traumatic event was covered up like a well-gauzed gunshot wound. Colin’s mother went off and followed the ambulance to the hospital, but he didn’t see her leave. Instead, Colin was left there with his two sisters, watching Peter Pan in the living room with the big tube. They must’ve watched it four times before she came back home. When his mom returned, Colin was still sitting in his father’s lazy boy, reclined, covered in his lion and cheetah comforter, wearing nothing but undies. He had no idea what happened and Mom didn’t say one thing to him or his sisters.

The following week was the funeral. On the main street of their little town of 25,000 people, Colin and his mom entered the funeral home. The stone columns on the outside and big black marble sign indicated they arrived. This was the last place Colin saw his father in the flesh. Colin stared at the body and didn’t cry. He was fascinated with the soulless doll of his father.

Father. His dad hated when little Colin called him that.

“There is only one father,” Colin’s dad had said to Colin the previous year. “Don’t you dare call me that. Call me Dad.”
