The Man Who Made Me
He seems so peaceful, sitting there snoozing on his favorite couch. A crossword puzzle book lays folded open in his lap, the pen still poised in his hand from the last clue he was working on.

The frost in his beard is a marker of the ever-marching passage of time, faded after the years from its once jet-black hue. I suppose I'm partially responsible for that. Alright, more than partially.
