Chapter 10

Its Christmas Eve and I find myself sitting on a park swing bundled up like an Eskimo to protect myself from the bite of the December wind. I just can't believe how fast the last few months have just flown by. Taking a swig out of the flask from my pocket, I can't help but think how fast things have changed.

Another notification sounds from my pocket. I pull out and shut my phone off so I can actually do some thinking.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of magic, happy families, family gatherings in restaurants, and pictures of togetherness everywhere. For some, the happiness comes naturally and the family time is cherished. For my family, the holidays become agonizing. The fighting gets worse, the yelling gets louder, and the stress bubbles over to where everyone starts to lash out. I look up at the sky and try to remember a time when things were simple, happy even.
