father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and,
perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector,
who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life."
