    Herman had wanted to be a tattoo artist. His father told him to join the army instead saying "tattooes are for the lowest of the low."

    A year later a camp guard shounted for the next in line. Another weary and pale forearm appeared under the needle.

    "And which number is this one" asked Herman.

    Tommy winced when his dad hit his thumb with the hammer. He wasn't sure which way the hammer was gonna fly this time.

    "Daddy, are you ok?"

    "dad?"

    "Tell your mom I went to a fuckin meeting. Get in the house."

    Tommy was smiling when he got to the backdoor. Daddy was nicer after meetings.

    "That's perfect." said Lilly, steadying her breathing. She sighed happily. "That is just perfect."

    She couldn't agree more.
