A heavy drop of water dangled from the edge of the spout and fell into the empty tub.PLINK... The sound of the splattering droplet was like a pistol at the beginning of a race. He started to count again.“1,2,3,4,5….” Mark counted aloud. Each number that rolled off his terrified tongue reminded him that he was still here, he was still alive.“Dad, why do you have to go for the entire summer?
