Kai darted his eyes to the hand that brushed against his shoulder, the tension in his body rising as it gripped and rubbed the denim of his jacket. He always felt tiny around his father, even though with age, his height had far surpassed him. A chilling shudder ran through him as the man let out a sly laugh and leaned into him closer, enough that the scruff of his beard brushed against his cheek.

"Eat up, you've barely touched your food."

Across the table, his sister frowned, watching the sweat building against his forehead.

"Kai? Are you okay?"

He wasn't sure if he was okay... He must be dreaming... Because the last time he'd checked, his father was still resting beneath the flower bed where he'd left him.
