I heard my heart remind me
Up until the age of sixteen, I shared a bedroom with my parents. Every night I would hear my contemptible father in the darkness, rutting with my prostitute mother (or with another painted whore if she was out fellating in an alley).
I smelled the fetid sex sounds, the malodorous swear words and the corpulent carnal eruptions. I saw the hot cherry glows of post-coital cigarettes. And I heard my heart remind me about the dressmaker’s 10” scissors that I kept under my pillow.
My dear heart continued to be heard after I’d concluded with some lively stabbing exertions.

Brandon is definitely missed yes. I posted on his last drabble (that he posted a couple of months ago) about four weeks ago, asking if he was okay. I'm not a facebook user (I like to use twitter) but Brandon's facebook address is mentioned on his profile page. Someone should drop him a line and say hi! :-)

Another great example of "show, don't tell." I pictured a dirty little room that was dark and dirty all the time.
