"Kyle? Is that you, son? I can't hear you." The sounds of a rumbling subway train screeching to a halt. Shoulders brushing, bags crunching and sliding alongside hurried footsteps.
"Yeah Dad, it's me. I need to talk to you about something."
"Are you all right? Is everything all right?"
"No. I mean, yeah. Yeah, everything's fine." Kyle's voice broke as he lowered his eyes. "It's about Jeff."
"Jeff?"
"Yeah. Dad, is Jeff really my brother? I mean, for real? Biologically?"
"What are you talking about, Kyle? Are you in trouble?"
Kyle breathed deeply and sharpened his tone. "Yes, everything is fine, I told you. Is Jeff my brother or isn't he?"
"Who the Hell is Jeff? What are you asking me?"

The train doors slid shut and the shoulders, and the bags, and the hurried footsteps resting silently between them moved on to God knows where.
"Dad, I'm talking about my brother Jeff. Jeff Farnsworth."
"You don't have a brother named Jeff. Are you trying to mess with me?"
Kyle's breath dropped in and out as he stumbled against the wall. His dufflebag dropped to the ground as the phone switched shoulders, and from across the station Kyle could see children passing, trying not to make eye contact with the musicians playing furiously for their day.
"Kyle, I don't know what you're asking me. I don't know what kind of a world you've created for yourself up there, but I don't understand it."

Kyle shuffled to the edge of the track and closed the phone.
