The father stared at the screen, the neon glow reflecting in his eyes. The posts, the photos, the comments – they all seemed distant. He pinched the bridge of his nose.

The TV flickered to life. The voices and images filled the room, replacing the silence. He started to switch channels, looking for something to watch.
