Truth in the dark

[Shawn Flanagan]

Having dinner with his family and Bly was bad. He had yelled at his family. The meal he was eating was shoved forward on the table. It was embarrassing for Shawn son was trying to tell his father where the food was on his plate. His son was sad, but Shawn did not care. He shoved his way outside.

The bench outside was front of him and banged his foot hard against it. The boots he had took the damage.He kicked it. He was blind. What was he supposed to do? The right eye improved a little but he still could not see if his life depended on it.

He was reaching out for a bench and sat on it. “Rosalyn, I told you once to leave me alone!” he warned her as he could hear her foot steps. He could smell her better too but he could not see her.

Rosalyn froze in front of him, flinching at his sharp words. Then, anger replaced her momentary shock.

"I will not leave you alone!" She cried angrily at him, her voice thick with emotion. "You are my fiancee and you're hurt! I am NOT going to just leave you alone! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize your family still loves you regardless!" she cried at him.

Hot tears swelled in her eyes and spilled over, streaking down her cheeks.

"I love you and I am not going to just leave you be! I want to help you dammit!" she retorted. "The only way to get me to leave you alone right now is to shoot me!"

She stepped closer to him and gently took his face in her hands. She leaned in and kissed him softly and hard on the lips.

"Just forget that thought right now" she continued. "We're going to get through this. Don't worry about it! you literally terrorized your own son who is now afraid of you. Nice going." she added half angrily half sarcastically. She sat down next to him and took his hand in hers, squeezing it.

"I'm here to stay" she added firmly and waited for him to speak.

Shawn could hear the rasping of her voice. Rosalyn was emotional hurting because Shawn was being an asshole. Shawn could sense that she was front of him. How? It was his senses that had spoke to him. “Shh,” he told her as he reached out for her. Blind as a bat, but Shawn face did look at her direction. “You are right. . . I am being selfish,” he admitted to her. The heart in him was broken because Shawn was being mean.

I love you and I am not going to just leave you be! I want to help you dammit!" she retorted. "The only way to get me to leave you alone right now is to shoot me!"

Now, Shawn was trying to have Rosalyn to sit down. His hands was feeling around for her. “Rosalyn I don't like getting help. It runs in my family. We are stubborn. We are fighters. We try to take things in our own hands.” He placed his hand on her cheek but his thumb struck her nose accident. “You and James are my world. But my world is black. I need to relearn things but I am going want to do it alone.”

“I did not mean to scare my son,” he was not happy with himself. “Go get Jason for me please.”


Jason came out of the house because he was spying. “Paw,” the young boy said. Standing ten feet away from his father.

Reaching his hand out, Shawn was trying to get a sense where his son was. Do not go ape shit, Shawn was thinking to himself. Hold firm, do not lose your patience. Jason was his man, his little world. “Jason, I won't hit you...I am sorry if I scared you.”

“Paw,” Jason had a tear running down his face and he ran to his father and hugged him tightly. “Don't be angry. I will always love you! I-I-I was only trying to help.” Digging his face in his father's neck. “I don't want you be angry. I make things good. I will for you.”

Feeling with his hands, Shawn moved Jason onto his lap. “You gain weight my son,” he said with a small smile. “You ate all lot,” he feeling his son and poked him. “Fatting you up too!” his son was laughing because Shawn found the humor in the event.

“Yea, Maw...Maw's food is real good. Very tasty! I love her cookies!” he cheered up. “She got me a new kite too! You should see---” he stopped.

“What's the matter, James?” Shawn asked with concern. “You can tell me. I might be blind. But you have my Paw's imagination of story telling. You go on and tell me the wildest fantasy story of your kite. I will see it right here.” He pointed his head. “Right here! So go on and tell me everything.”

So James gone off telling him all about this and that and eventually he was sleeping in Shawn's arm. His parents went to take him away from Shawn.

Turning his head where Rosalyn was watching. “Come and comfort me you,” he said smiling. “I love you. God, it will be fine. It will take time to adjust for all of us. . . I guess it's God's will and I got to go with it. What counts is I got you and James. I am thankful for that. But, if you feel to smack me. Go on. You might knock some sense in me,” he was joking and laughing. "Don't me joking fool you. I am scared like a rabbit trap in a corner. And I know you are. So lets be scared together. I would like that."
