there's something resembling my father standing in the parking lot outside. it's tapping its bare knuckle against the post of a flickering streetlight & gesturing into the darkness behind it with its other hand. sticking its thumb out over its shoulder like it's telling me we have to go. i texted my sister about it & she said to stay inside & lock the balcony door. the knocking got louder when i did.
