Burning Midnight (2016)
“Trudell put the lid on the can of stain, tapped it shut with the handle end of a screwdriver.
It reminded Sully of the time he’d been so eager to help his dad with some do-it-yourself project that he splashed white paint on Dad’s truck trying to use a hammer to tap the lid down on a can of paint. Sully could still remember his dad’s exact words: “You stupid ass.” Then he’d smacked Sully’s face and told him to get the hell out of the garage.

For the hundredth time he thought about sitting on the swings with Hunter on Christmas Eve, the snow falling.MoreLess
