      Happy Reading….

      Introduction

      Daniel! Danielllllllll! Must this boy always allow me to strain my vocal cords before he responds to my call?

      Dad's voice boomed. He possessed a rare gift of exaggerating its actual depth.

      I jolted, forcefully opening my eyes - eyes that would've preferred tightly shut.

      Daniel!!!!!

      I didn't bother to respond for at least two reasons.

      Firstly, Dad's voice could be heard several hundred meters away from where it originated. My neighborhood buddy, Jerome, often whimsically remarked that he was certain that the biblical Philistine giant, Goliath, must've sounded like my dad. Or my dad like him. Whatever. Such comments usually earned him a spank in the rear, but deep down, I couldn't agree more.

      Attempting to respond to my dad from my tiny room on the second floor of the 53-year-old block that housed our family would be an effort in futility. My voice was nothing like Dad's - croaky, boyish, and cracked. For all my struggle, the sound wouldn't have made it outside the room even if I tried. I've tried unsuccessfully to explain this to dad, who somehow still held on to that age-old notion that if someone could hear you, then you must be able to hear them- regardless of the distance involved. The flaw in this reasoning is that it failed to acknowledge that octaves differ and some persons are louder than others. For me, his concept didn't hold water because almost everyone could hear Dad's voice when he spoke - even if he called your name from a continent thousands of miles away. No jokes. Ask mom.

      The second reason I didn't respond immediately was that Dad and I were no longer best of friends. It all started when I turned 14. I began to experience a lot of changes - physically, emotionally, etc. I expected everyone to understand that I was going through a rough phase, but that wasn't quite the case with Dad.

      I knew he loved me. I loved him even more but soon discovered that It was becoming increasingly difficult to express what I felt. I had tried to go through this rough patch alone, but I needed support. Dad was always ready to hold me by the hand and guide me through this phase. Did I accept the help he offered? Initially, I didn't.

      The rushing wave of independence overtook me. Riding on the delusion that I was now grown up and could make decisions for myself, I rejected every direction from my dear father.

      Danielllll!!.... There was a loud bang on the door.

      Oh no! I jumped off the bed almost immediately and nearly tripped as I rushed to the door. Delay could be dangerous.

      Gently turning the keys, I was soon face-to-face with the last person I wanted to see. Dad.

      "Good Morning, young man... he barked in such an authoritative manner that I wondered whether it was a greeting or an instruction.

      Good morning, dad...Uhm...sorry...sir, I replied, lazily running my head through my bushy hair.

      I was undecided about choosing between 'dad' or 'sir' just a few months ago; he had come up with the weird rule that all responses to him end with a 'sir,' because according to him, except for mom, every member of the family owed their life to him. Talk about authority.

      Daniel, what time is it? he asked, staring intently deep into my eyes.

      Uhm...7 sharp, I think...my alarm went a couple of seconds ago.

      Are you supposed to be in your room by this time? he asked gently but firmly.

      But Dad, do I have to do this every day?

      Of course, Daniel, he shot back almost immediately, with a threatening grimace. Noticing my perfectly veiled fright, he continued, you know what the rules are, boy. You must be up before 7, take out the trash, and do something productive with your time. If I had spent all my time sleeping, I wouldn't have been able to take care of you and the rest of the family.

      But Dad, it's holidays, and I shouldn't be doing so much because --

      Listen, son; you must learn to be hardworking. Hard work requires a lot of discipline. Discipline means doing what you have to do without waiting for Dad to chase you around. You may not always feel like it, but you must. That's how real men live, Dad preached.

      Alright, Dad, I mumbled, heading to the yard to take out the trash.

      That was me 15 years ago.

      **************

      Hi, I'm Daniel.

      Daniel Harris. Everyone has always called me Dan or Danny. Except for Dad, of course, who insists that he named me Daniel at birth.

      I graduated from a community college about three years ago, having bagged a degree in sociology and anthropology.

      Through the lens of a distant observer, it would seem that I've enjoyed a good life. After all, I've got loving parents who still have a measure of sound health, an excellent fledgling career, wonderful siblings, and an amazing fiancée.

      It hasn't always been this way. The
