My world ended over a broken pencil. My father's first love's daughter claimed I snapped her pencil. Dad decided my mother should pay for it — and he took my mom's kidney to give to his first love's daughter. They brought my mother back bleeding. I couldn't wake her. I just sat there, holding her hand, feeling her skin turn from warm to cold. I screamed and beat on my father's bedroom door, begging him to help, but only heavy breathing answered my cries. At dawn, he finally emerged, covered in scratches. He told me I was a bastard and to call him Mr. Foster. A week later, police took my mother's body away. That same day, he returned with that woman and her daughter. When he demanded my mother cook for them, I hugged her ashes and whispered, "Mr. Foster... Mom's already gone."
