Front door Quote by James Cox

“There was a sharp knock on the front door and being that it was a flimsy piece of shit the thing creaked and opened up. Who else was standing there but my father, Mayhem. I think I swallowed that protein cube whole as I shoved to my feet. “Dad?” “Oh.” quote by James Cox
