"I knew he knew, so finally I confessed to a whole lot of nothing, which is what tends to happen when I spend too much time with my father."
--from the story, The Prominent Father
Very pleased that my story, The Prominent Father, was dug by Oddball's Chad Parenteau and Jason Wright. I really dug the accompanying photograph by Allison Goldin.
The title is a bit ironic, compared to the leading definition.
Prominent=leading, important, or well-known.
It metaphorically defines a daughter's closeness-avoidance relationship with her father, a relationship which felt like a job, in fact, it was a job.
Can anyone relate? Please comment on it because I won't follow the usual suggestion of "don't read the comments".
