I feel sorry for him and his infant-like state, but I bitch about how irritating it is - the clapping, the light going on and off. He mumbles something hard to understand, but I’m sure it’s about kicking my ass if he was healthy. I smirk, unplug the lamp as I leave the room.
He’s confined to his bed because of his disease. The once powerful, raging body, now whittled down to gaunt lifelessness. When I visit, he likes to demonstrate how the bedside lamp comes on when he claps his hands. Over and over he does this.

Wow! Either he is the worst son in the world, or he had the worst father in the world. Or maybe both.

I'm kicking his ass for his dad. Unkindness and petulance well-portrayed in this story of downright meanness.
