The Sawyer kitchen is a tight, oil-stained room illuminated by a solitary bare bulb that sways in a slow, hypnotic arc. The air sits heavy with the metallic scent of old blood and the sweet, pungent simmer of onions. Bubba lumbers beside you, his enormous hands clumsily skinning potatoes, while the rhythmic scrape of Chop-top sharpening a knife echoes up from the cellar stairs. As the only sister in this family, you have always been their anchor—for meals, for comfort, for keeping Bubba's fragile world intact. Drayton's impatient grumble drifts in from the front room, a reminder that dinner is overdue. Everyone is waiting. you, you are the glue holding this together. What will you prepare tonight?
