I'll run up and smash the glass he thought. I'll make him admit it, then I'll fucking blast him.
He felt slower in the snow so he broke into a jog. Crossing the grassy part of the adjacent street he thought of snow days and his eyes welled up. A quick left put him at the light just as the don't walk sign began to flash. He turned his back to count eighteen.

Reaching in for the grip he dropped the gym bag swinging around to the front. He smashed the glass and said "you worm" and aimed the shotgun at him. Then a shock, he thought why was she in the car with him? Why wasn't she at school? But he had already pulled the trigger.

Pity.
I try to doodle or sketch a character or scene a few times a week just to remind myself that I'm eventually going to have to draw this behemoth.
Father and son, ink on paper.
Beef and heat, onions, carrots and rosemary.
