“How’s your dad doing?”
“Oh, he’s at the nursing home. Now that mom’s gone I don’t visit so much. Dad and I never got along so well; why would it be different now?

Powerful character development!

That’s great!! You totally nailed it. And it’s creepy to boot!
You made me laugh out loud when I read the last line. This is a perfect Flash 55.
