Bang!
“People ring the bell all night long. They knock on the door and ring the phone and come and go and don’t never sit still, it seems. When they ain’t putting in numbers, they’re playing cards. When they ain’t playing cards, they’re sitting around, talking, drinking, and eating.
Kee-lee and me don’t do all that much. We eat, we sleep, we get high off weed we buy up the street with money Kee-lee steals out his aunt’s purse, and we drink all the liquor we want. It’s fun. But it ain’t what my father ...had in mind.
“Y’all come here,” Aunt Mary said this morning.
Him and me both came at the same time.
“You stink. Get yourselves some clean towels and take a bath.”
I smell my underarms.
She tells us that when we done she wants us to do something for her. “Make a run.”
Aunt Mary’s house is next to a crack house, which is next to another crack house, which is next to three vacant houses with the insides gutted out. It’s nighttime, and she’s wanting us to go pick up some money for her, to walk past them houses and up the street, where dogs look too scared to walk at night.MoreLess
