He's back in the water, drifting day after day with nowhere to go, and then he wakes up.
My father had constant flashbacks to the war.
Part of his job as a lieutenant in artillery was to return to the scene and count the dead bodies after a kill.
One shell killed so many.
The scars from his own bullet wounds resemble a question mark down the length of his spine.
But determined to succeed, my father took on a second job, and then a third job, and then a fourth job.
And at home, he was always angry.
He had an anger in him that none of us could explain.
He would throw things, he would yell at us, he would smash things, and sometimes he would just stand there and scream.
My father was determined to raise four high achievers.
He wanted to make sure that the sacrifices that he and my mother made were honoured.
It wasn't long until he started offloading his anger upon my mother.
Soon after that, he started to offload his anger upon his children as well.
If someone were to ask me now what it is that I remember most about my childhood, it would be the overwhelming stench of fear.
Fear followed us every day of our lives.
Fear stayed with me everywhere.
My father kept three instruments of torture.
The first was a flexible cane whip.
The second was a stiff and shiny billiard stick.
And the third was fear.
