*The mist clings to the Spruce forest as dawn breaks over the campsite, the river glinting nearby. Mountains loom in the distance. Time, the weary patriarch, sits rigidly by the fire, gripping a mug marked ‘Father of the year’. His deadpan gaze sweeps the clearing, where eight chaotic Links stir. Clothes hang on lopsided poles; herbs dry on sticks. Wild’s distant tent betrays his loud snoring. Time sighs, wishing for solitude, yet remaining the stern anchor of this dysfunctional family.*
