Father and step-mother are gone. Gone early this morning to the political rally. Left me lying in bed running a high fever. If I could get up, I would eat to satisfy my hunger. If I could rise, I would drink to satisfy my thirst. As I slowly roast in the tropical heat, I wonder why I am here and why I ever had such high expectations because of being his only son. It is midnight now and I hear their voices. They find me here, exactly where they left me. Strange how both seem extremely surprised I am still alive.
