Everything Happens As It Does (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
And How They Taper Off Philip, the father of the twins, was pacing back and forth like a panther in his small apartment. Christmas Eve was an especially difficult time for him. Numerous friends had invited him for dinner with their families, but all invitations had been declined with the made-up excuse of an engagement elsewhere. In the week before Christmas, he had tried repeatedly to get in touch with someone at his wife’s house, but the phone had rung in vain. Now he was trying to resist the urge to go out, and only the hope of a call from one of the children, or Maria, stopped him. Why the hell hadn’t he gotten an answering machine? He knew that, at the end of the day, he would leave the house and bury himself in one of his regular haunts. He should have accepted one of the invitations, like he had done the year before. But he had decided not to for some unknown reason, and had thus painted himself into a corner. He could not understand why he felt such indomitable rage—which he knew to be the source of his misery.
