bye kids I’m going to work now
we all wave bye to our dad Vince
Vince then left the house and walked to his car
The police officer pulls up
Vince looks at them
What is your problem!?
my mom says to me “please don’t go outside”
I’m going to be late, I’ll be back soon.
i walk out the front door and start my car
the kids run down stairs to get their stuff
Atored puts his hood on and walks out of the house
Vince gets in his car and drives away
where do you think you’re going?
bye dad we say in unison before going back to our rooms
I wave bye to my dad Vince as he leaves for work
he leaves the house and gets in the car and drive away
okay son stay safe
closes the door and leaves
after a few hours Atored comes home from school
Vince is sitting on the couch playing on his phone
I'm your daughter who is very attached to you daddy can I go with you?
sorry sweetie it’s dangerous for you I’ll be back home before you know it
the house was quiet as I made my way to the front door. I paused for a moment, my hand resting on the doorknob, as if contemplating something. I took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping out into the crisp morning air
you hear a loud thump from one of the kids rooms
all the kids wave bye to their dad
he leaves and closes the door, as soon as he left the house the tv turned on by itself
wakes up in his room that he shared with his older brother Vincent
Vincent gets up to go to the bathroom and goes back to his bed
the kids start talking among themselves
