You know how someone’s irritating and isn’t a Mountie and doesn’t have a horse and makes embarrassing noises with your mother in her (don’t say their) bedroom so you crank up Bonanza and Batman and Bewitched to drown them out and you can’t twitch your nose like Samantha to magic him away and he takes you all out for a Chinese meal because Mom tells him it’s your favourite, like who really cares? – you almost say thanks but stop when you remember his son Jake who told you girls joining motorcycle gangs have to be gang-raped before they’re let in and you can’t move and your face burns hotter and hotter. Well, that’s why I hate Dan.

I loved the way this sounded like a sulky teen. Great work.

The angst of a disgruntled teen came through loud and clear, Cheryl. Great voice. Comments are closed.
