THE NEXT DAY

I couldn't help but think about what Cain had told me the day before. My father...GAY.
I thought about how that could happen when he was so in love with my mother. But then again...I vaguely remember them together. I pulled out my father's letter and read again. I noticed that R.F was written more than any other initials. I continued reading and noticed that R.F. referred to a girl... his new love. But Cain said that my dad was gay. How could he be gay when he was in love with a girl.
I had to go searching for answers. Here we go again.
I went into work today, for what I dont know. But hopefully someone uses the laundromat.
Around 12 noon. A woman walks in. He is tall, and built, with long outrageous weave, and I can't help but stare. She turns to me and says in a deep manly voice,"I know hunny...Renee Factor always turns heads".
Renee Factor...I can't believe it...It's her---I mean him---tranny. My dad is gay and the love of his life was a transvestite. WTF
I walk straight up to the man/woman and stutter to say," you..."
But she stops me and and hugs me, then proceeds to say," You are his child."
Gosh I must really resemble this guy.
We sit down and talk and she tells me stories of my dad. Some were nice and some were just TMI... But I continued to listen.
After a while I ask about my father's death and everything turns serious.
"Your father cared for alot of people and tried his best to protect everyone and their identity. He died protecting me..."
"What do you mean".
"One night I was out behind Dave's butcher shop and Courtney Red approached me. She had found out all about me and Will as well as him and other men in the town and was threatening to expose it all unless I help her to get footage. I rejected and said that I wouldn't and she pulled a gun to my head and told me she would kill me. Your father just happened to walk by and see it and so he came to try to help me and the gun fired and your father layed there dead. Both me and Courtney were scared and shivering and went to the cops. she promised that she wouldn't expose your father if I agreed to say we found him like that and that's what we did. But eventually the truth got out to the rest of the town and shockingly no one cared to throw Courtney Red behind bars. They said that they were glad that a gay man was dead."
I began to tear up and breath heavily. I could not believe that my father's death was not cared for. And I cant believe I came all the way to Shanty Town to find this out.FML
Renee hugged me again and told me I should get out of this town and that I deserve better. I dont need to be worried about what goes on and thats what I decided to do. I was done with this town and its people and i hope it burns.
