I’d wake up clawing at my chest, desperate to find this thing that lived and writhed inside me. Was it wrapped around my heart or had it settled in my belly? Was it slipping down my leg? Spiraling up my arm?  \nIf I could find it, maybe I could cut this pulsing mass out of me that kept fucking everything up.  \nBut if I could cut my failure out, would there be anything left of me?  \nI was a man born to be lonely. Maybe my first mistake had been trying to live my life. Maybe it would have been better if I was nothing but a memory, a chewed-off curse and a no-good man who’d run out on his woman and his child.  \nWhat did that say about someone, that their life might be better if they’d never been a part of it at all?  \nTraffic in front of me stalled. A line of stuck cars snaked from thered light and backed onto the highway. I was mired somewhere on the exit ramp. Only a handful were able to inch across the intersection with each cycle of the traffic lights.  \nAll I needed was to hit the cross street. One right turn and I could escape this nightmare.  \nThe clock on the dash ticked forward another minute. The cars in front of me hadn’t budged in three.  \nSomeone behind me honked. Sure, we were all here just to annoy whoever was stuck seventeen cars back with their rear end dangling in traffic. I glared in my rearview as I propped my elbow on my truck’s window. Keep honking, buddy. It makes the lights go faster.  \nAnother minute passed. Shit. Practice had started five minutes ago. Emmet didn’t know I was coming, so it wasn’t like he’d be disappointed if I didn’t make it.  \nIn fact, he was going to be furious when I did show up.  \nI could do nothing right for my son. Everything earned me the same reaction: a sullen glare, a brooding side-eye, a slammed door. He didn’t want to talk. He didn’t want to eat dinner with me. He definitely didn’t want to spend more than the barest minimum amount of time together. We had only incidental contact, the kind that happens when you share four walls and a roof and nothing else with another person.  \nHe took after his mother that way.  \nMost of all, Emmet hadn’t wanted his mother to die.  \nHonestly? He probably wished I’d died instead.  \nHe didn’t want to move across town, either, but we were lucky to find our cramped and aging little townhome at the edge of Last Waters within the school district’s limits.
