Wow river your good.Your writing is wonderfull.I especilaly liked paint me.Im no stranger to family fights and i have to say you captured the feeling realy well.I like how you used the calm before a storm to explaing the moments before a fight you know is comming.Thats exactly what is like!Its that freakish silence that at any other time would be peacefull but then its the most frightening noise you've ever heard.Just like the beautifull weather you think is perfect when a storm attacks out of nowhere and takes you by surprise you learn what that complete silence means and it makes you woried.You did an amazing job.Thank you!
