THE CAR didn’t want to start at first. It chugged and hissed and sounded like it might not make it through the night, let alone the rest of the year. Tommy stopped trying for a minute. He dropped his head to the steering wheel and did something he hadn’t done in nearly twenty years. He prayed. Not a soft prayer, not a gentle request for help. Tommy’s prayer was full of rage and anger and hate for a God he didn’t think existed. Because if God was real, if there was anything out there that was supposed to look after him and his family, they were falling down on the job. To Tommy, God was worse, a bigger betrayer than his own father.

“Come on, you son of a bitch!” he yelled so loud and so hard his throat felt raw. “You start this fucking car right fucking now!” He pounded his hand on the steering wheel until he thought he might break his bones. “If you ever give me one fucking thing in my whole miserable life, give me this!”

He let out another strangled scream and he could feel the hot spike of tears building behind his eyes, but he tried the car again. Miraculously—or, more likely, coincidentally—the car roared to life, and Tommy tore out of the driveway like a demon nipped at his shadow.
