Daddy.
By Mzebonga

Jim sits with Daddy during the day.
He likes sitting with Daddy.
Daddy doesn’t try to talk to him or make him think.
Jim remembers a time when Daddy used to make him go to a place with other kids.
They used to ask him questions all the time and shout at him if he didn’t listen.
Jim likes sitting with Daddy better.
Daddy just mutters to himself and drinks the brown liquid from the square bottle.
Jim smelled it once: he thinks it smells bad.
They watch TV together.
Jim especially likes it when the people on TV yell at each other.
It reminds him of Mommy and Daddy.
