Chapter {36} This Isn't Gonna Work

 Narrators narrative;

Derrick is sited in silence beside his sister. They are both glaring at the television but have their minds in separate places. 

Their father walks into the living room and furrows his brows when he finds Esther resting on her brother, and Derricks arm around her. 

It's been years since he saw his children this close to each other without yelling at each other, trying to show supremacy over the other, or fighting, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to tell his children what's been on his mind. 

After so many years of isolation and depression, he has finally found the little light bright enough to light up his world.
