The Father, The Daughter, The Gun

The father looked at me and pointed his finger

And told me if I ever took his daughter from him
He would shoot me with his gun.


I sat in their living room and looked at the daughter.

Wow Janet, this leaves so much to the imagination, I like that. I can think of many scenarios to fit this. Utmost in my mind is a social worker removing an abused child from her Father.

There are others as well, that is the first thing that came to my mind. Good work. JC
