He had a knack for breaking things.
She rocked on the toilet floor with trembling hands
Trying to tape the smashed pieces of her mix cassette together.

She inserted it into her walkman and tried to press play.
Didn’t work.
She took a knife and tightened the screws
And tried again.
Her body sagged in relief, she finally sobbed into her chest.

Born in where only boys were passed on family skill & trade.
Her father ended up teaching her how to fix everything.
