Fear the Night
“He listened to the buzzing coming from the kitchen. That was how it sounded to him when his mother and father argued, how he wanted it to sound. He didn’t want to hear the things they said to each other.But sometimes, like tonight, the words worked their way through the buzzing:“. . . sold or pawned everything we owned!” His mother. Her hopeless voice, the one with fear in it. Dante recognized it because it was the same fear he felt. How a boat might feel breaking up on a vast and violent sea. ...Soon the protective shell would be gone and every fierce and terrible thing that lived in the wild ocean would have its way.“Like you can’t get a fuckin’ job!” His father.

Not anymore.”“And what I know how to do, the city won’t let me do!” The city. That was what was keeping his father from going back to work.MoreLess
