if you want it darker . . .   "A Piss on the Cheek"

A darkly humorous tale from the life that led a man to live alone in a cave.  A pissy moment in the first months as an Army draftee after the final violent confrontation with his father. This received a nomination from the Pushcart Prize committee.  (The picture is of a painting by the writer that seems to capture the mood of the written piece)  Adelaide Literary Magazine
