   Summary

   The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.

   He’s not sure which one wakes him first.

   (Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).
