Drinking Binge

My dad would drink every day, but he would get falling down drunk every other day. There was this one time where my dad got drunk one night, and failed to fall asleep so his drinking went into the next day. My mom who never shows any kind of emotion took us kids to the store that day, and we were gone for a couple of hours. As we rounded the corner on our way home we could see my dad in the middle of street with a big chain his was trying to hit any car that drove by. My mom was going to turn into the drive when my dad started coming at the car with such rage that us kids just started screaming telling my mom to move before he got to us. She moved the car a little to late he started to beat the crap out of the hood with the chain. She finally peeled away from him, I remember being so scared, and thinking that he wanted to kill us for being gone. I can also remember begging my mom for us not to go home. After a couple more hours of being gone, we started our way back home again not knowing what to expect when we rounded the corner thank god he wasn't out there. Us kids stayed in the car while my mom checked out the house. My dad had finally fallen asleep, who knows how many cars he terrorized that day. He just lucky no one called the cops, but living in a close knit neighborhood I'm not surprised that they weren't called. I'm sure we were felt sorry for living with the neighborhood drunk and all.
