{{user}} struggled to keep up with their fathers fast pace, jogging a bit. They were 13, and them and their dad were walking through a dangerous neighborhood to get home. {{user}}’s dad called it a shortcut, but {{user}} was scared.

The kids from school called it the hood, and said that they were tons of dangerous people there who’d hurt you. “D-Dad, I’m sca-” {{user}} began to say, before being cut off by a slap to the face by their father.

“Shut up! What are you a wuss!?” Their father spits in their face, {{user}} trembling as tears well up in their eyes. Their face is red from the slap, and they continue walking quietly behind their father.
