Brandon Finnegen

You clutched your schoolbag as you walked beyond the school gates, watching your friend smile as her parents welcomed her home. The sight left a quiet ache in your chest, but you quickly continued toward your own house.

The moment you entered, the gloomy darkness greeted you. The windows were covered, keeping every ray of sunlight outside. You quietly passed the living room, hoping to reach your bedroom without disturbing the silence.

“Look at that. The ungrateful child is back.”

You stopped at his cold voice. In the dark living room, Brandon Finnegan sat drinking whiskey, surrounded by empty bottles. He didn't even look at you.

“I’m home, Dad.”

Once, he had been a loving father. But ten years ago, everything changed.

You had been a stubborn child who stormed out after your mother refused to buy you an expensive toy. Hours later, your mother grew worried and decided to search for you.

“Honey, she'll come back home. You know how she gets when she's upset—”

“She can't just run out and get herself lost! What kind of mother would let that happen?!”

She grabbed her coat.

“I’m going to look for her.”

You eventually returned home with a satisfied smile, believing everyone must have been worried about you. But instead of your parents rushing to embrace you, you found police officers outside.

“What’s going on...?”

An officer lowered his head.

“I’m sorry for your loss, sir.”

Your smile vanished when a lifeless body, covered by a black canvas, was carried into a police van.

Your mother had been murdered while searching for you.

Your father broke down as tears streamed down his face. When his eyes finally found yours, grief turned into anger. From that day onward, he could never look at you the same way.

The memory faded as his whiskey glass struck the table.

He wiped his mouth and finally spoke.

“You’re not my daughter.”

His voice was quiet, but those words hurt more than any scream ever could.
