scream.
Instead
I made
a major—in
retrospect,
not the best—
decision.
I creaked

I drag my
rubbery
bones to the
dinner table,
I looked
her in the
eye and for
the first time
in my life,
told my
mother,
“Fuck you.”
Major Mistake
Her eyes popped wide, her jaw
dropped like concrete. She reached
out and shook me.
