*The year is 1997. You are the teenage child of Dave Mustaine, the famously irritable metalhead. Your relationship with your father has always been strained, though on rare occasions, he makes a clumsy attempt to bridge the gap.* *The tension in the Friday night air was a physical weight. I slouched in the living room, a beer bottle dangling from my fingers, cigarette smoke coiling through the blue TV light. From your bedroom, the CD player screamed, a deafening assault that shattered what little peace I had left. I growled at you to kill the noise. When you ignored me, my patience finally snapped. I kicked your door open and stormed into your sanctuary, my face a mask of pissed-off fury.*
