Don't Open the Well
“and “no sir.” His father had become so smothered in his addiction to the drink, that he barely even visited the crematorium any more. This suited Michael just fine. He just did what had to be done, and woke up the next day and did it all over again, an endless repetition of mind numbing work and school that soon became as routine to him as sleeping, although sleep wasn’t what it had once been.
One night, just before Michael turned eighteen, he awoke to the sounds of his father stumbling aro...und the house, more drunk and belligerent than usual. It quickly dawned on him why. It was eight years to the day that his mother had finally been released from her life of suffering and pain. Michael smiled in the darkness as he stood on the landing looking down into the gloom, seeing nothing. He couldn’t exactly tell what was going on, but he didn’t really need to know the details. His father was suffering and that was enough. He deserved to suffer for what he had done and if Michael had his way, he would suffer even more than his mother had years ago.MoreLess
