A Gamer Gives Thanks

My fondest Thanksgiving memory goes like this:

Grandma's dinner table. Cloth napkins. I'm wearing a tie and blue corduroys that haven’t fit for at least a year. Brussel sprouts. Creamed spinach. My mother's white-line stare would put a long-haul trucker to shame.

Uncle Pete sits down at the table. Uncle Pete lives in a different world. We’re strictly rural; he comes from mystery, traveling from city to city, living a life or urban wealth and sophistication of which I can only dream. An Outsider.

The table is awkward and silent, family tension pulled into a spider web of angst and future therapy.

“Please pass the rolls.”
