Brittany Bends (2015)
“I stand there a moment, feeling tired and achy and lost. The narrow road goes slightly downhill, and if I stand on my tiptoes, I can almost see the lake.
It’s probably the same gray color as the sky. The air smells damp, and twilight is coming.
It’ll get even darker.
I shove my hands in the pockets of my coat, bow my head, and walk toward the house. It’s almost invisible from the street. Daddy thinks the house is horrible, but I like it.
I like it here more than I realized.
And now Daddy’s goin...g to ruin it.
I walk up the driveway, the cold wind stinging my face. The front door is down the sidewalk to my left, but no one except company uses that door. I’m not company—at least not yet.
I round the garage and go up the back steps to the kitchen door. I step inside, and smell peanut butter and coffee.
The coffee still sits in the coffeemaker, but the maker’s unplugged. An open jar of peanut butter sits on the counter, and two slices of bread sit on a plate, but there’s no one in the kitchen.MoreLess
