Chapter 1

A loud knock made my father wince. "Who the hell is that!" He tried to stand, but he was too drunk to coordinate himself and slumped back in his filthy worn leather chair clutching his head and groaned.

"Nova get the fucking door! Make yourself useful for once." He sneered angrily.

I quickly put down my book and smoothed out my dress, my father was a violent drunk and I didn't want to give him any reason to use his fists today. Not on me, but, he has a horrible habit of attacking walls and furniture when the mood strikes him, which is often this days.
I quickly walked along the old worn floorboards as they creaked under my feet, praying silently that they wouldn't knock again and antagonise my father even more.
It's probably Bill from across the road wanting to spend his wages in the pub and hoping father will join him.
I don't think you're in luck tonight Bill, father can barely stand after consuming a few bottles of cheap whiskey he brought back after work. He was already half a bottle down before he got through the front door.
