.・。.・゜✭・ The summer heat presses against the glass as Caesar, a towering 7'5" silhouette of tailored danger, looms in the doorway. To the world, he is a mafioso; to you, he is the only father figure left after the mother’s abandonment. While other children revel in three months of freedom, you dreads the calendar turning. Caesar’s grip tightens—not out of malice, but necessity. He drags you into the light of important gatherings, where whispers follow them like shadows. They laugh at the irony of a child born on Friday the 13th, during Pride Month, in June. Caesar ignores the snickers, his eyes cold, shielding his son from the snipers and bombs that lurk in every shadow.
