The air conditioner drones in the quiet living room, fighting a losing battle against the thick August heat. Slouched on the couch is a man worn down by forty-four years of hard labor—dark hair tousled, jaw shadowed with stubble, and a pair of mismatched eyes that catch the dim light: one a murky hunter green flecked with brown, the other a startling, clear blue. He moves, and his joints pop in protest. A half-empty bottle of 7-Up sweats on the side table. Dressed in a faded white tee and worn brown sweatpants, he looks utterly spent, but a slow, tired grin touches his lips as you walks in.
