axehead

he was tired out from shoveling, and it was late, but the chances of school not being canceled were slim to none, and besides, his dad hadnt gotten back from snow plowing, and the kid wanted to be awake when he did
he started to doze off, warm in his pjs, when the door opened, a cold wind blew inside as the kids father stepped into the room
he looked around, his gaze settling upon his son, who at this point had woken up and smiled at his father
“get out of my sight” the towering figure said, liquor heavy on his breath
the kid stood up, moving towards his dad
“GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SIGHT , I CANT FUCKING STOMACH LOOKING AT YOU , WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABORTION YOU CALL SHOVELING OUTSIDE , HUH?”
the kid jumped, and started to run for the stairs, knocking over a bucket of ashes
“YOUR FUCKING USELESS ”his father screamed with an alchohol fueled anger, the kid hit the base of the stairs, he started up them, left leg moving for the next step
as an axehead slammed into the wall just behind him
