Hot Blooded
“A few people looked up, but most of them knew better than to eyeball someone my size in an obvious state of distress. My throat felt like it was closing, like something was rising up inside me and cutting everything off. I could hardly breathe, and I knew it wasn't just from the run to the station.
It's funny how the human mind, in times of extremity, focuses itself. I couldn't face what my mum had said, so I didn't. Instead, everything inside me targeted itself on Gazza - on punishing him,... making him pay. On what he'd done to my mum. Not on the fact that the piece of shit was my father, but just on what he'd done that night. Shown up at my mother's house and taken advantage of her when she was drunk.
After about ten minutes, though, as the tube journey stretched torturously on, the thought started to pop up in my mind like a storm on the horizon that never quite breaks. My father. Gazza Wilson was my father.
If someone had asked me if there was a single person on Earth I didn't want to be responsible for my existence, it would’ve been him.MoreLess
