Okie, heh. This is AMAZING. It's so real and vivid and lifelike, and you can really feel the tension between Frank and his Mother! It felt so.. dysfunctional and like she was prodding at a lost cause. I loved how solitary Frank's attitude was when he wasn't being beat up.
Speaking of which, poor him! I really feel for him, and that Demetrius is a nasty piece of work. :(
Great job! Oh, and welcome to Ficwad. :)
