“"Open your eyes, Junco." They are open, I think I say, but I can't hear my voice. "Open your eyes." I try, I really do, but they are heavy so I just give up and go back to the dark place. I love the dark place. It's madness. The slap brings me back. "I said open your Goddamn eyes!" They open. My father is standing over me and the rage in his expression briefly shocks me into full compliance mode. "Yes, sir," I say. He backs off and smiles. Then lets out a long breath of air. "Welcome back. How ...do you feel?" How do I feel? I smile back at him. "Like a motherfucking truck just ran me over." He smacks me again, but I just smile. "Like a motherfucking truck just ran me over!" I scream. The maniacal laugh bursts forth as my father walks away towards the door, but he's not getting away that easy. "You're not him," I snarl. "You're not him! My father would never use that word!" He doesn't turn back, just thumbs his biometrics on the doorknob, waits for the lights to flash green, and walks out.MoreLessRead More Read Less
