Drink

I took a drink. Mama always hated me. She never said it, but I knew. Rather, she told me I was why my father left. He left because he was scared to raise a child. He was a coward. But so was she. I suppose it was contagious. She gave up on everything when I was eleven. But I guess I’m hypocritical. She lasted longer than I will. Cowardice is contagious.
