Perfect Intentions: Sometimes Justice Is Above The Law - Plot & Excerpts
Now, looking around him, he wondered at himself, a fifty-five-year-old man who still didn’t want to settle down. It was a characteristic that had eventually driven his wife away. She’d never known him, not really. Truth was, he didn’t want her to; for her to know him she’d have to know his secrets about his upbringing. Things he didn’t like to think about, let alone discuss openly. He couldn’t let her know for two reasons: firstly, by divulging secrets that still haunted him, he was readily handing her a stick with which to beat him with whenever they had an argument; secondly, if that happened, he was petrified his reaction would turn him into the person he despised most in the world—his father. All children are scared of the bogeyman, a fictitious character that lurks under their bed and only appears when the bedroom lights are out. Only the bogeyman isn’t fictitious, and it didn’t live under the bed; it hid in every drinking cabinet in the country, and, for the most part, stayed there.
