Don't expect anything from me. I'm not here to create an amazing story that would amaze everyone. If I could I won't let it publish to the public, but I also want some recognition for my efforts.
Most of the short stories comes from reality but only in detail. So please minimize the criticism. I'm worried that I can't bear it. Thank you.

Me and my cousin are doing our homeworks. As we had finished our tasks, My uncle arrives home.

My uncle was currently wearing his black cap, white t-shirt with black maong shorts and a dirty white shoes with red stripes on it. He has a small black backpack in his shoulders with a front grey bag with him.

As he was a walking like a limp from his left leg. He place those bags from his body to the wooden long chair and sit right from it. And now he's currently removing his shoes and socks from his feet.

His face looked fatter than before, and you could see he had red eyes on.  Probably from alcohol..

As everyone notices his arrival, grandma who's done from her work asks uncle.
"Oh Ed, how is your legs?"

"I still got limp leg ma.. I couldn't walk properly as it hurts so much." Replied Uncle as he grimace from pain.

"Hayss! I knew it! You are nothing but trouble! Look at yourself! Didn't I already told you that being alcoholic wasn't good for health?! See what caused it? It's your selfishness of having fun drinking. You caused it yourself." Grandma who's getting angry from his arrival. Because all of us wasn't aware that he's coming back. Even though no one mentions it, everyone doesn't like him. I could even considered my uncle as a black sheep in the family.

" If you only use your money to buy your daughter's milk and diapers.. look at your daughter! She's already at 7 but can't even pee property at night and has to use diaper for a convenience. Tsk tsk." It's starting again..but it's true tho. My little cousin doesn't want to woke up at night, but she couldn't help but to have urges. Grandma always wake her up at 2:00pm just to let her pee but to her disappointment, little cousin was stubborn like a mule as she still pees in her diapers even she would wake up and pees in grandma's efforts.

" You're making my life miserable! Do you even know how hard to work at farming crops? I have to walk miles away just to be arrive at a certain locations. I have to bare the hot sunlight for hours and you guys didn't do anything but headaches. I'm tired." Me too, I could understand that hardships. I'm quite guilty but that's how life work is, you have to do jobs so you could eat for tomorrow.

"..." We never talk when this type of scenerio happens. Because I just think it could gave people some space and I don't want to join their arguments.

"Why are you still drinking alcohol pa, it's not even good? Sure you can drink again pa, you are great at doing that anyway" My cousin commented, she was my uncle's only daughter. Lin

"Lin-lin stop it, don't share a conversation with the elders talk. It wasn't appropriate for kids to do such things. Come on, let's play right there."
(Me) grabs Lin as she agrees goes to a separate place away from grandma and uncle's.

The argument didn't continue. And do their own business. But it shows that even my uncle isn't welcome in this house. Because of Uncle's shamelessness, he can still do what he wanted.

Even if my grandma and grandpa has grudges to their youngest, they still have to take care of their only son. They didn't care but they let him do on his own.

My little cousin is my uncle's little servant, he always commands her to do sinple things for him like let her buy him some food, bring him water, bring him everything needed to cook.. etc.

My uncle could count on to my grandma's purse, he would asks for money. If he keep insisting, they would comply just to shut him up.

But to everyday and every of his parent regrets, he used up all those money for his own pleasure. Mostly buying alcohol just to drink with people he's close with when it comes from such beers.. or to play lottery..

My uncle is a black sheep that could do any shits. Can't helped but impressed from his strong mentality. Because even he has negative reputation, he could live with it. Cause he can get himself a friend Though many didn't like him, he could stabilize his life for his own. Like he can act as if he doesn't even care from his surrounding and what matters is what he wanted to do right now.

Actually, if you talked with him as a person. You could say, he was rational and can think from right and wrong. Not entirely intelligent but smart.

It's a pity because he lives like that. He couldn't even change if he wanted to because no one could support him. They didn't trust him anymore. Sighs.

It's really hard to change, especially if you thought about your surroundings. You'll think about people who knows you, they'll judge you like this decision will never lasts.

It happens to me many times, I always got inspired to change my lifestyle, but give up once in a while. And continuesly comes with a decision of "I couldn't change afterall. Why bother?"

.. Honestly, I always thinking about becoming independent. Maybe if I'm alone, I could think for myself and I could stabilize to change my lifestyle.

How I wish, uncle can change himself. Because it'll help him to move on, and can go forward in his future. He will see the world in a new perspective. Maybe he can become someone what he dreamed of when he was young.

In the times before he rebelled against his family. I didn't know his past, but that's the gists of it. He made a friend, and got influenced to a bad one.
