Fatherhood
The Logistics of Worth. Runner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge. Top Story - June 2023.
Staring out of the windshield over the expansive hood felt like looking across a snow-covered field. The wheel was tight, forcing both hands and muscle power to turn it. Pumping the breaks was an instruction and not just a clichéd term. On one occasion while driving to my summer job, I pumped the breaks continuously but the Lemans didn’t stop at the overpass. Slowly, the beast heaved itself across the road while I held my breath. I reversed out of the bushes with an equal mix of shame and anger. Mad at Dad for not having a better job to afford a nicer, safer car. He worked in a factory, though I told everyone he worked in logistics. Not entirely untrue, but I knew what I was doing when I said it.

You're Doing Great. Runner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge.
Dang it, Vocal, again with the challenges designed to pull me, specifically, out of my comfort zone. So, look, I'm an anxious, insecure crybaby who doesn't like to verbalize my feelings. I absolutely know where I get that from. The discomfort around sharing a Father's Day piece comes from the knowledge that my dad is also an anxious, insecure crybaby. I'm five sentences into writing this, and he's five sentences into reading it, and we're probably both on the verge of tears.
