Absolute Zero
“Nate asked, as he drove down Center Street.
“Good. Spicy food!” I pounded my chest. “I think my tongue’s going to be on fire for a week.”
“They said it was going to be authentic Mexican food, that’s for sure.” The dashboard light illuminated his face.
“I still can’t believe you don’t know your parents. I mean, your real parents.”
“Being adopted is the pits. Never know if you’ve got a medical history, or, if you get your nearsightedness from your mom’s side or your dad’s side. Or who do you look... like.” He shrugged.
“That’d suck.”
“I’m not sure which one I’d prefer. Having folks for fourteen years, like you, then having them both die in a car crash or never having known them. They both suck, but I think yours sucks the most.”
“Yeah, well. I’m glad I had them for as long as I did, because I know I get my blue eyes from Mom.”
“But jeez. To lose them like that.”
If only he really knew how I watched them get slaughtered by the Coats. That’d put a twist on things.MoreLess
