    Summary

    The next several weeks are moderately more annoying and less graceful. Neil spends them drinking whiskey more and hitting Billy less. Billy spends them snorting coke with the pain meds he chases down with booze and gazing longingly at the sword he’d mounted on his wall over the summer.

    It’s a replica of a viking sword. Billy bought it just because he thought it looked badass, the solid bronze pommel and guard, neat markings carved into the handle. Now that they’re learning about vikings in school, he keeps thinking about doing something more with it. He keeps thinking about wielding it.

    Though Billy would never admit he pays attention in his history class, viking stuff is pretty cool.

    -- or --

    Left alone with his father, Billy puts viking lore to the test.
