Consequences

The house door banged, and then a loud splitting sound followed.

“Billy, will you please calm down? Now look, you broke the door in half!” Joe grumbled.

Ash came out of the AA room to see what was going on. Billy was fuming, any madder and he would have turned wolf. Joe was standing by the door, attempting to fix it. Billy had slugged it so hard that it split in two. One of the halves was hanging loosely.

Ash turned and saw Billy march right past him without saying a word. He went up the stairs and into his room, this time he didn’t bang the door as hard.

There was a short splitting sound before a loud thud. Half the door was on the floor, Joe stood next to it, helpless. Ash was even more confused now.

“What’s eating him?”

“He had a fight with Ann.”

“It must have been pretty bad for him to break the door. What was it about?”

“Lee.”

Ash became uneasy.
