The Deadline

When our eldest was born, I remember my partner expressing disappointment that he didn't have anything from his own childhood to pass on to our son. Growing up, Nolan and his family never stayed in one place for very long. Their sleeping arrangements shifted regularly between garages, living room floors, shelters, housing projects, and ultimately a compact car, fixed up and shared amongst the three boys, their mother, father, and two cats.
