Larry felt himself begin to tremble, not with fear but with rage. It was my house! My kid, to do with as I pleased. Bitch left like I knew she would. Goddamn worthless whore. But he was my kid! I'd never have hurt him, never have done what my Dad did to me. Tears threatened to fall for the first time in many years. But when he shut his eyes to try and stop them, something worse happened. He saw that night, just as it had happened so many years ago, as though it were projected on a screen in front of him.

As he sat down, the chairman called the meeting to order. Dr. Pallin, the psychiatrist who had interviewed him, was called to testify.
