Who's Your Daddy (?!). Content Warning.
He never laid a hand on me... not even once, well; except that one time when he grabbed me by the throat and threw me against the truck because he couldn't find his cigarettes. In his defense, I HAD taken them, at the baiting of my older step-brother. And, it wasn't all bad... It was probably this instance that helped me realize, being a smoker isn't that high on my list of priorities. And more than the choking and throwing part, I think it was the public humiliation of being reprimanded in front of my stepbrothers and cousins, and the feeling of being betrayed, when it was my cousins who wanted the cigarettes and my step brothers who pressed me into taking them, but none of them had anything to say about it when I was hanging, feet dangling in the air, suspended by my father's one hand around my neck, in the driveway, against the side of his truck.

The Logistics of Worth. Runner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge. Top Story - June 2023.
Staring out of the windshield over the expansive hood felt like looking across a snow-covered field. The wheel was tight, forcing both hands and muscle power to turn it. Pumping the breaks was an instruction and not just a clichéd term. On one occasion while driving to my summer job, I pumped the breaks continuously but the Lemans didn’t stop at the overpass. Slowly, the beast heaved itself across the road while I held my breath. I reversed out of the bushes with an equal mix of shame and anger. Mad at Dad for not having a better job to afford a nicer, safer car. He worked in a factory, though I told everyone he worked in logistics. Not entirely untrue, but I knew what I was doing when I said it.

You're Doing Great. Runner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge.
Dang it, Vocal, again with the challenges designed to pull me, specifically, out of my comfort zone. So, look, I'm an anxious, insecure crybaby who doesn't like to verbalize my feelings. I absolutely know where I get that from. The discomfort around sharing a Father's Day piece comes from the knowledge that my dad is also an anxious, insecure crybaby. I'm five sentences into writing this, and he's five sentences into reading it, and we're probably both on the verge of tears.
