The world tilted violently to the left, and then came the taste: hot, metallic copper flooding my mouth, thick and overwhelming. My father’s face was so close to mine that I could count the broken capillaries in his nose and see the gray stubble he hadn’t bothered to shave. His breath, a stale miasma of cheap…
