Divorce.
Did dad decide?
Did desire die?
Did Debbie's devotion dampen?
"Don't."
Dread drives downward - dizzying.
Dad's drunk.
Decision - discussions dispatches doubt.
Defensive, (no) doubt.
Did dad deplore?
Did detachment develop?
Did Debbie declare: "disappointment"?
Dude, drama.
Downplay it.
Don't display dissatisfaction.
Don't dirge.
"Dad"..."Debbie"..."Defeat".
Done.

Vocal Memes for Established Creators (Part V)
How on earth are we up to Part V already? Time flies when you're making memes, I guess. It's been over two years since the first Vocal Memes for Established Creators article was published, and to-date it's still my most read Vocal story of all time, although I'm determined to beat that record this year with something new.
