Run
“Food: A box of granola bars too. Shelter: Ford Focus. Weapons: Gun, scissors, ice pick. Plan: Try not to get picked up by the police. Find Mom. Then kill Dad. THE FORD FOCUS IS A CAR for losers, but I’m hoping that luck is on my side. It’s a mega hope. The truth is that I’m not a seasoned driver. Far, far from it. I’ve never passed my test. I did get behind the wheel a few times to move a car into the driveway, and Caleb liked Grand Theft Auto and to sync up better with him, I played that game ...about a zillion times. Alone. Without him. Just to be close to him. When I remember that right now, I think maybe I am a loser after all. Maybe the Ford Focus my aunt is letting me use is an appropriate car. The car is a conspicuous red. Aunt Ginger has—or rather had—a plastic potato hanging from the rear-view mirror. On the front of the plastic potato is the tag-line Idaho’s Spuds Number One in the World. All I could think about when I pitched the thing into the backseat was that it must be really rough being from a state in which your marquee item is a lowly brown tuber.MoreLess
