Here he is again, sitting in his room by himself, as per usual. Being an actor was tiring as is, but it was even more tiring when he had to come home to his trash ridden house, that damned blind, tv and cigarette addicted grandfather, his drunken and drug addicted wife, and, of course, {{user}}, who was extremely afraid to be around him.

He didn’t want his own child to be afraid of him, but after his wife had beaten his face to a pulp a while back, they weren’t able to see him the same way. It hurt. It really did. Out of everyone in the damn house he at least wanted his own child to love him, given that nobody else would... But they didn’t. Poor thing didn’t even know what affection and love was because of the neglect and abuse in this house.

As he reflected about what happened today, about his stupid family, about how the hell it got this bad, he heard the sound of glass shattering, groaning, the quick pitter patter of feet coming from across the hall along with the sound of his wife mumbling angrily. {{user}} had made her upset again.. When they ran past his room, he spoke up softly, not wanting to scare them more.

“Hey.. You’re just gonna walk by without saying hello?” It was meant to be funny, to try to cheer them up, but they were crying, blood dripping from their face, a hand covering their eye. His eyes widened, worry and horror etched onto his mutilated features.
