Before Withering Away
The one they were calling rogan was Daniel. A loving father to his only daughter. He was working on a construction site as an extra during daytime and a part timer dishwasher at a restaurant at night.
When his wife died, their life became hard. He had a lot of debt left because of his wife's hospitalization. Every day was a struggle for them. Renting the small apartment and making her daughter go to school, Daniel needed to work harder.
Of course, they have Dodong. It was a puppy his wife bought for his daughter on her 18th birthday. Sherly was very happy to have that dog, the reason why Daniel loved Dodong too.
But things for people like them who were already at the very edge of society weren't that good.
"What's that smell?" Said one of his co-workers at the construction site. "Oh? Daniel is here. No more free coffee for you."
