A Permanent Image
by Samuel D Hunter
Siblings Bo and Ally are back in their childhood home for their father’s funeral just a few days before Christmas. After staying away for years, they come home and find their mother Carol, has been drinking heavily since their father’s death and has painted everything in the house white including magazines and the television. What Ally and Bo come to find out is their mother has a method to her madness as she shows them their dad’s selfie video made just before he died.
