Love with the Left Hand

After football season the father drove his young son out to a cabin in the woods, told the boy to take serious stock of himself, and abandoned him there with a sawed-off shotgun loaded with a single shell. One evening about a week later, the son appeared at his father's door and, thrusting the gun under the old man's snout, held him to merciless account. The son then withdew into the darkness. Soon afterwards they discovered the boy's carcass, relieved of its head, in the ditch along the road that led to the middle school.
