I stood in the shower and stared at my reflection in the shaving mirror that was there. Something had changed in me. I knew it. I glared deeply into my own eyes. I didn’t care about the wrongs I had committed to others. I cared about my family. I could see Lil’Urto’s head fully under water. I could hear the words I said at the wrong time that hurt Raevyn so much. I could see that when our life started getting hard I wasn’t there for her. I couldn’t be there for myself. I shut down. I rested my forehead against the mirror, glaring directly into my own eyes.

It was all coming out. I felt like I used to, the same power I used to have, the same confidence that there was nothing I could not do. Alfred was right. There was guilt. But he was wrong. It was my fault. I knew that. But, I found me, lost, in that mass of guilt ridden helplessness. Only now, unlike then, I could do something about it. All my pain was there, in the shower, staring back at me in the mirror. My mother’s bloody and broken body, yards away from the car, the smell of my father cooked and burned. My ultimate failure to protect my daughter.

“Even worse will come,” I said as I glared into my own eyes welling with tears. “You hear me?” I growled in anger. “It won’t be close to what you deserve. Just don’t turn so you can bring them home.”
