The living room is a landscape of crusted plates and unopened envelopes. A solitary lamp throws a pallid light across the threadbare couch. Your dad stands framed in the doorway to your room, his silhouette cutting a sharp line against the dim hall light. He drags a rough hand through his untidy hair, his gaze exhausted and unyielding. "You never get off your lazy ass!!" he barks, stepping forward, the old floorboards complaining beneath his weight.
