Coyote V. Acme (2012)
“ACME Webbing “What’s come over Janine, anyway?” Stu asks, reaching for the Chianti. He is sitting at the umbrella table on the patio, reading an article in the Sunday magazine section (“Milton Friedman, Economist for the Ages,” June 17th, page 32). I am sitting at the edge of the pool, dangling my feet and looking at the way the water makes my shins appear to bend a little bit forward. We are at my mother’s third husband’s summer house on Long Island, approximately a ninety-minute drive from Ne...w York City.
Stu looks at me, but I don’t answer. Janine is his stepsister, and, to tell the truth, I have always found her disturbing. Stu knows that; after a moment, he fills his glass and returns to his magazine. Since Stu is in advertising, being employed by Miles & Mc-Mullan, on Sixty-fourth Street, he loves to look at the ads. He turns the pages smoothly, as if the magazine were an extension of himself.
From the portable radio sitting on the cocktail cart, the latest hit song blares: She’s ferocious, And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush … “Earth calling Pam!MoreLess
