Holidays always end up emotionally wrong.

That's why we got rid of them.

Completely? Whoa.

Just because sometimes they make you feel bad? I mean, the Fourth didn't before last year but this year it's sort of got me spooked.

[an-offender.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow* The Fourth?

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

Of July. America's Independence Day.

Is it supposed to be disturbing?

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

No, not at all.

Last year I was... I had a really bad time. Kidnapped, nearly died. Not exactly a favourite day now.

[an-offender.livejournal.com]

Kidnapped? By who?

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

A terrorist who was trying to get leverage over my Dad.

I hope they were brought to justice?

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

My Dad shot him, he was in a coma for a while and then Federal prison.

Currently he's free. Hence the emotional part of this holiday.

*frowns slightly* He wasn't incinerated?

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

*blinks*


Incinerated? You mean like... burned? Up? Dead? Completely?

[an-offender.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's how the Palace of Justice has always dealt with terrorists.

[bitofahandful.livejournal.com]

They burned them? I...

No. No he wasn't. My father lived, so did Matt and I. He wasn't put to death.

You must have a very lenient society.
