Liberate
By Jayde Holmes
Charlie pulled up to a grey box-like house well after dark, after fighting to keep heavy eyelids held up and tired eyes from rolling backwards. His wrists ached, his clothes were soiled and it felt like some feral creature was clawing its way out of his stomach.
Despite the overwhelming desires to get clean and get fed, he spent almost ten minutes scrolling on his phone. Quick videos of men taller, thinner and better dressed than him leaning against cars he could never afford with their hands in their pockets making witty observations about the world. Or families with kids lacking behavioural problems going on the types of outings he’d never have time for.
There was a knock on the car window.
He looked up from the phone. No great loss, as his mental health helper was starting to steer him towards government sponsored shorts anyway. His seven-year-old son Dean was outside, grinning at him.
