Ben Montgomery (St. Petersburg Times): A year ago yesterday, Michael Olver moved his son's furniture into the garage. He cut out the beige carpet and padding and carried it to his utility trailer for disposal.
There was still blood on the floor. He would have to clean it.
Mikey was his son. He watched the boy's birth, wondering if all babies look weird and beautiful like that. He coached little Mikey in soccer. He watched the boy grow into a man and go to college and have a baby of his own. He was 24.
His son. So he had to clean the floor.
