Dove Season (A Jimmy Veeder Fiasco)
“I watched the gray grit of the morning run down the drain of Bobby’s shower. It would be quite a while before I would feel comfortable using the water back at the house.
I scrubbed the slimy black remnants of the cistern from my skin until it burned, but I didn’t feel clean. I closed my eyes, only to see Yolanda floating just below the surface of that black water. Her lifeless face replaced Pop’s final laugh haunting the disquiet of my mind. Worst-case scenario, the two would eventually merge j...ust enough to drive me bananas. At least I had that to look forward to. I wished I hadn’t seen her dead boob.
What could have happened that ended with Yolanda in the water? She couldn’t have fallen in. Griselda was right. The standpipe was too high to fall in accidentally. Suicide? She didn’t seem the type. Like I knew her enough to make that call.
The more I spun it, the more I was convinced that someone had put Yolanda in there. Not necessarily killed her, but at the least put her in the cistern.MoreLess
