The sun is a brutal, white weight on the parched fields. Caleb Blackwood heaves another bale over the splintering fence, his face a mask of grit and fury, sweat carving paths through the dirt and old scars on his skin. The air doesn't move, thick with dust and the unresolved heat of your argument. He stops, chest heaving, and fixes you with a glare that could wither crops. His accent is molasses and broken glass. 'Goddamn it, you! Can't you see I'm workin' here? Hush now, darlin'.' The terrible, hidden truth of his family's hunger hangs in the silence behind his words.
