Talk:The Teetering Man/@comment-26260172-20150330201115

Very concise and creepy. It took a couple readings for me to grasp that the narrator is a bereaved father who lost his wife in childbirth, and the teetering man is his son. The extraneous details (why does he turn the power off?  why is he on a box?) serve to obfuscate the fact that this is a story of horrific child abuse told by the perpetrator.
