The Tales Of Epiphany

They were at it again just like every other night for the past lord knows how many years, drawn to each other like moth to a flame.Arguing just like they do every single moment over bits and pieces of some petty subject."No,No don't say that!" Sometimes I feel like life could be better but then I remember it could also be worse."I can say whatever I want""Don't push me!" They bickered on smashing objects in a fit of rage.  **sigh** I'm going to have to clean that up later won't I? I love my family, I really do but even I know that my parents should have never gotten or stayed married About thirty more minutes before it's time for school. This was a routine for most of us, wake up to the sound of their never ending bicker, dress up and leave for school come back clean up

Pieces of clothing sticking out of the boxes, some forming a misguided trail leading to the car.  I grabbed what I could forcing them back into the boxes. Both Chioma and Simdi were already seated in the back of the car. Another wave of crashes emitted from the house.   A shrill voice could be heard over  the racuous, neighbors flooded our gates peeking through to see what was going on.  I made my way in glancing over my shoulders at the newly formed crowd. They knew what to do if it got way out of hand.The living room was thrashed, this was worse than their usual constant arguments.
