Those remarks fired, however, came from irrelevant individuals; but what if they came from a loved one? Their impact instantly solidifies and sinks in like cement. An individual that was supposed to provide care, support, and love, instead provided insecurity and hatred. Dale, my “father,” was an alcoholic. And…

The room is dark and dismal. Every curtain drawn together obscures the light. It’s suggestive of the despair filling the deepest recesses of Tank Brooks’ soul. Struck by a boundless trembling, his heart beat loudly gathers voice, filling his head. He sits ensnared in a whirlwind where his ability to reason is all but lost. On the walls are his dusty old family pictures, treasured memories of happier days. Each a reminder of those he loved and then lost. Over the years he came to learn that it’s…

He knelt on the school yard to wrap his knee, but it wasn't the cuts or bruises bothering him, it was the beating he'd taken on Tuesday from the town bully.

Alessio’s POV I blinked in surprise at the sight before me “M-Mother?” I slurred, stumbling towards her with open arms. “You’re drunk,” She said nonchalantly and scrunched up her nose in disgust as I enveloped her into a tight embrace. Way to state the obvious. “You reek of alcohol!
