The alcoholism was obvious. What I hadn’t known at the time was that the man had abused his wife and sons–his youngest, to the point of his having fallen comatose. Wanted by police, he was on the run for an entire lifetime of crimes for which he’d never paid the piper. Perhaps that should’ve been good cause to turn him over to authorities, to act the hero for once in my godforsaken life. Heroics were boring.
Oh damn. A shady MMC the narrative acknowledges is a bad person, instead of trying to make excuses for. Interesting.
