“Will ya look at it?” Dad threw his arms wide, as if he wanted to embrace it all. He seemed to be growing before their eyes, like a tree, spreading branches wide, becoming strong. He liked the nothingness he saw, the vast emptiness. It was what he’d come for.
He is deeply wounded, and the normal world overwhelms him.
Alaska is exactly what he’s been chasing. No community, not healing but emptiness. A place where he can be in control, and where he can impose his own will.
