Summary:

A young man describes his morning routine and the portraits he draws of his father.

My Thoughts:

This story leaves lots of questions open . . . or perhaps more to the point, open to the imagination. Particularly questions about the father, that the young man is obviously so attached to. The setup is mainly a rundown of the young man’s morning routine and I thought the minute description of such mundane things was both beautiful and calming.
