My Step-Father

It was about time I unraveled the mystery that shrouded my stepfather. I feared for my mother because he was a mysterious man, the corners of his mouth always turned up in an unreadable expression. He thought I would be afraid of him, the man who fears nothing, always immersed deep in my suspicion. And after uncovering his deepest secret, I was determined to keep my mother safely tucked away, far, far from the man who replaced my father.
