As a single father and only child Frank and Paul had been
going strong for almost 17 years. Frank couldn’t feel the two decades that separated
him from his son; in his eyes they were equals. Although Paul felt much the
same, he would occasionally seek his father’s advice. Last Saturday Paul found
himself in a conundrum: his best friend’s birthday had fallen on the same
evening as a date with his dream girl. He went to Frank for guidance. “Go and get fucked,” barked Frank, after hearing his son’s dilemma. He then got up and left the room without another word.
