Gee, Dad

A quiet afternoon. A father, a daughter, and a conversation that begins with innocence and slowly reveals something far more complicated.

Set beside a winding river beneath the fading light of day, Gee, Dad explores family, love, memory, and the fragile stories people tell to protect one another. What starts as playful banter over oversized cups of Dr. Pepper slowly turns into a moment of realization neither of them can fully escape.

Tender, unsettling, and darkly human, this literary short story captures the uneasy space where humor, heartbreak, and truth quietly collide.
