29 December Year 10
I took my shoes off and threw my bag and went into the main room. Dad was really there. I didn't think about how long it had been or where he had gone. I only raced thoughtlessly into his embrace.
I don't remember clearly what happened after that. Whether the smell of alcohol came first, or the cursing, or the slap to my cheek. I couldn't know what was going on. He smelled of alcohol and when he panted his breath was foul. His eyes were bloodshot and his beard was growing wildly. He hit my face with his large hand. He hit me again and asked what I was looking at. Then he lifted me into the air. His scarlet eyes were frightening, but I was so terrified I couldn't even cry.
This wasn't my father. No, this was my father, but this wasn't. My two feet shook in the open air. In the next moment, my head crashed into the wall and I slumped to the floor. It seemed like my head was exploding. My vision flickered and I blinked a few times.
My head was filled only with the harsh sound of my father's breathing.
