Challenge #36: Spooky Words
Title: Evening
Author: Exmptfrom sanity
Timeline: Way pre-series
Condom: Brian
His sister screams about her loathing for her for-shit college. You don’t do the work; you don’t get the rewards. It’s spooky how that works in the real world isn’t it?
His mother just stands there, the flawless model of Catholic martyrdom, ignoring her mindless wails. She’s watching the old man as he leaves, hurrying out to his other woman, his booze.
“It’s windy out, wear a coat,” she nags, voice pinched.
After he leaves she begins pouring the alcohol.
Brian turns back to his homework at the kitchen table, waiting for midnight and another day closer to leaving forever.
