Brick

quickly push it back out. "A little more than kin and less than kind". The rehearsal begins. * * * A sense of charcoal and seared meat wriggle their ways up my nostril, finding delight in my brain. I hate family barbecues. I have no objection to the barbecue part, but rather the family. So here I am, standing awkwardly in the corner, clutching a beer as equal parts condensation and perspiration slime across my hand. It 's a disgustingly typical Australian summer. My uncle presses down steaks on the grill, streaks of irrational fire lighting up to cast a vicious shadow against the brick wall backgrounding him. I stand a while, watching him, feeling a peculiar mix of emotions that I can 't quite define. This dull anger, felt towards him, towards the entire extended family gathered around me. What a complete lack of support. Of understanding. It 's so cold, even despite the furious heat. Brick walls dance around me as my head spins; but I feel, I mean hear, almost hear, my dad calling from inside the house, offering an escape from the fires growing to surround my uncle. "Where are you going Daniel? The food’s almost ready!" I hear them call out but I ignore it.

Clomp. Clomp. Clomp. Clomp. Clomp. Chunk. The world slowly fizzles into existence around me as I slowly rise to my feet. It’s an absurdly small room, probably about 12 feet square. A single dim light bulb on the ceiling fails to fully illuminate the room. My head is killing me. There’s blood in my hair. I want to fall back to the floor. The walls and floor are smoother than concrete, but just as stern and unwelcoming. The air is musty and a thin layer of dust covers everything. The room is…
