My Father's Crimes

Michael

Incarcerated and alone, I haven't seen my son in ten years. I may be guilty of murder, yes, but that doesn't mean I ever wanted to hurt or abandon him. In fact, I did it all to protect him. It's just that Felix doesn't see it. He doesn't want to hear it. As far as he's aware, I'm the worst person there ever was.

And... As I'm looking at him, sitting in front of me with my flesh between his lips, it's becoming harder and harder to believe that, despite my best efforts, I'm anything other the worst person there ever was...

Felix

Ever since the day my dad got arrested, I decided I would never want anything to do with him. Even when he's out of prison now, trying to explain that he has a very good reason for having committed freaking murder, I still can't stand him. I still don't want to forgive him. He ruined everything for me. He messed everything up. He destroyed my life.

....So why can I not stop thinking about how I want him to destroy my body instead?

When a family dynamic is severed and crumbled to dust, a father and son will have to find a different way to form a bond together. Perhaps that type of intimacy is the only tool strong enough to fix a relationship as fucked up as this one...
