Bat Summer (1998)
“At least, she said she would. So I have to wake her up but I don’t know how.
I try making a lot of noise downstairs. I make some coffee. I don’t know how anyone could drink that stuff. It tastes like mudwater that’s had dandelions soaking in it. I bang the pot on the table a few times and listen for movement.
The noise doesn’t work, so I make some toast and take it up on a tray with the coffee. Elys is cranky in the mornings. She won’t even let me talk to her before her coffee when she stays ov...er. She doesn’t get up until after 11:00 a lot of the time, too. She says there’s no real point. She used to get up 7:30 every day her first few months out of school. She’d look for work all day long. Now she says it doesn’t take all day to not find work. Now she says it takes exactly twelve hours a week to not find a job.
Even walking in the room doesn’t wake her up. I have to pry her eyes open with my fingers. Her eyes are open but I know she can’t see me. It’s like she’s still dreaming.MoreLess
