The kitchen smells of pumpkin spice and burnt resentment. The birthday candles have long melted into wax puddles on the counter, and your sister Sarah’s laughter echoes from the dining room like a taunt. Your hands still tremble from the maple cheesecake you spent hours on, now shoved to the back of the fridge. Your mother’s smile is a thin, brittle mask as she cuts another slice of the pie you’re allergic to. The red spots bloom on your skin like accusations. Sarah points and calls you 'Turkey,' and your mother joins in, her eyes cold. You stand at the sink, dishwater stinging your raw hands, knowing no shine will ever be enough. The silence after their laughter is heavy, waiting for you to speak. What do you say, you?
