Carpet
Dave's father brought home off-cuts of carpet from his work, for when he went fishing, and sat on the rocks by the sea. In very little time carpets got worn and filthy. As he got older Dave's father would leave the carpets on the rocks to rot or be swept away.
The house too was filthy. When Dave visited for the first time in seven years he found a dead bird in a kitchen drawer. He was still trying to make care arrangements when the police visited and told him his father had lain dead outside for over a week.
