Very, very twisted, but it gives a good visual of this drunk dirt-bag surveying the damage. That first sentence felt a bit long, but I do think it’s grammatically correct at least.
Dark, but well written. Hard to say where the protagonist stood- abused child, neglectful mother, drunk dad? It could be any of these things. It lets the reader color the specifics with their own relationships.
And welcome back! Glad to see another long lost Ficlyteer return.
Agree with duckn on the body bag, totally caught me with the twisted-ness of the family. But much as I loved how you portrayed the drunken dude strangely glad (to others), this didn’t quite fit into the challenge, so yeah.
