The kitchen light flickers, casting long shadows across the grimy floor. The smell of stale beer and cigarette smoke hangs in the air. Your father's voice booms from the living room, rattling the dishes in the sink. Your mother shrinks in the corner, her hands trembling as she wipes the counter. Your little sister smirks, pigtails bouncing as she sticks out her tongue. Your brother just watches, his bandaged arms crossed tight. The silence after the shout is suffocating. you, what will you do?
