"I hate you! I wish you could die!"

Jacob was shocked. He could not believe that his own flesh and blood, hated him so much. His son's words hurt him so much, that he could not finish the coffee that his wife made him. He got up from the sofa, and went to his bedroom.

"The funeral was beautiful, and very sad," Margaret broke the awkward silence around the dining table.

"We know. We were all there," Maxwell burst her bubble.

"How disrespectful! He is... was your father!"

"He was nothing of me."

"Maxwell, stop it," his mother cried. 

"No, mother! I won't stop. Not before this fake family of Jacob leaves my house!"

"This is my brother's house," Margaret chimed in.

"Well, your brother is dead!"

Margaret got up from her chair.

"Lizzy, Amber and James, let's go! Gladys, Janice and Papa, goodbye."

"Yes, goodbye and don't ever come back," Maxwell screamed after them.

The remaining family members, ate in silence. Maxwell got up. He went to the fireplace, and took the big, framed picture of his father, and smashed it on the floor.

He returned to the table, and filled his plate with food.

"Bon appétit," he said to them.
