Written for B2MeM 2019, day 8 (G54). Four-word prompt covered: ear, afterthought, standard, executioner


A young man sits against a wall thinking about his life. His father is working as an executioner. Work, he took for there was no other work to find for him. His father had lost his hearing in one ear in his youth due to an accident. It resulted in little choices in work for him to choose from. Additionally, the standard of his life have never been high, to begin with. His grandparents were poor so this work was better than nothing. What it would mean for himself was never an afterthought for anyone. Still, he has accepted it.
