    “Just let me lay here for a minute. Trashy’s trying to make me scare everybody off. I just need to lay here long enough for her to leave. I don’t want everybody to leave. I want to be right here. On this bed. Next to you,” Artist whispers to Bekah. A floppy drunken hand plops…

    “She was at her mom’s the other day and I had a girl lined up,” Uncle Ball said. “Got a babysitter. Girl was only 15 but a piece of ass. I looked at her and smiled and said, ‘You sucking dick yet?’ She kinda squirmed a little and nodded. I wanted to see what she…

    It was Christmas. Uncle Wrath was not at Grandpa’s that night, or he had already thundered into the streets. Uncle Ball was my godfather now, and I had saved my money to buy him a special gift. Dinner was eaten and the doorbell rang. We were all sitting in the second living room and the…
