The air crackled with a forced conviviality. His parents, ever eager to please his younger sister, were planning a family outing. He was almost an afterthought.

He excused himself, claiming a headache, but the truth was a bitter taste in his mouth. He felt a phantom pain in his side. A pain he hadn’t felt in years. He felt displaced, invisible, a ghost in his own home. He wandered away, trying to hide.

He went to his room, closing the door and shutting himself off from the world. He wanted to go home. He wanted to leave.
