The music blared from the garage. It was a cacophony of distorted guitar riffs, echoing through the house. Mark slammed his hands on the table. His daughter, Chloe, was in there, practicing, or rather, *trying* to practice, his vintage electric guitar. Mark had spent a fortune on that instrument. Years crafting his skills. Chloe was 15, and the guitar was a toy to her. It was a weapon of mass destruction in her hands. He ran a hand through his hair, the familiar rhythm of the music pulsing in his chest. A part of him wanted to shred the strings, a part wanted to scream.
