"My Father's Burden" is a haunting one-shot story that follows Elaine, a young girl who mysteriously wakes up in the body of her abusive father, Richmond. Trapped in his form, she begins to see not just his present rage but the scars of a tormented childhood that shaped him. Through fragmented memories and painful flashbacks, Elaine uncovers a generational cycle of violence rooted in trauma, betrayal, and silence. As she walks in his shoes-literally and emotionally-she gains a painful but deep understanding of the burden he has carried all his life. In the end, she must confront not only the horror of her father's past but the heartbreaking realization that sometimes, understanding comes too late. A story about inherited pain, redemption, and the quiet power of forgiveness, "My Father's Burden" reminds us that healing begins when someone chooses to see the broken behind the brutal.
