I made up the punishment, though I'm sure it happens. Snowblowers we're once very popular theft items. Easy to sell used, not easily identifiable like a guitar.
Love that one, “He’s the CEO of not getting it.” This parent seems way to harsh but it is taking place in the 60’s or so it seems to me. I’m happy this is fiction.
Yes, it is a another great vignette. “How can she slap?” is an internet meme. I’m saying I couldn’t have avoided a sly reference. I’ve done it again! The only relevance is that one party is demonised and another is treated as the victim, when the situation is more nuanced than that.
Meth is gnarly. The Internet video craze is pretty insane too. Gotta admit I watch the red hot balls melt into stuff. But I don't send money to accordion players.
Riveting, haunting. There's a lot of bitterness in the story. I liked it a lot.
Thank you Kate!
It IS haunting, seeing you in the cold shadows, handcuffed to that snowblower, hoping this is no one’s childhood memory. Because it rings true.

I knew kids who were tied to chairs in their basements.
Yeah, I know a few horror stories myself

Can't be in the 60s with the internet. Some parents just prefer old school corporal punishment
Funny as hell!
I'm glad you squeezed the humor out of it. I see it too.
Thanks
”How can he slap?”
The answer would require a blow-by-blow backstory, and an ability to avoid memes and cheap puns, which in my case, I have not got.
He's handcuffed because he slapped her, not when he slapped her

Slaps! Argh. Now I see it. I delved into all that lingo and did see your obvious use of one. Thanks Paul!
Hell of an opening line.
Good work sir
Thanks David!
ain't meth grand.
another great emission from the pen.
unlike the virtual ink, the demon dust is truly life-altering.
makes the tale of Jekyll and Hyde reality.
This one made me want to hurl.
The evil is real.
Great story.
