Shem Creek
“I got home from the ball game around five and at first, when I saw Aunt Mimi’s car, I didn’t think a thing about it. But when I came up the steps in my usual regal manner—that is, two at a time, swung open the door, slammed it and announced my presence in a song at the top of my lungs—Aunt Mimi leapt from the couch to the door and gave me a huge shhhh! Your momma’s asleep. Well, old Linda ain’t been asleep at five in the afternoon in my whole life, so I knew something big was cooking.
“Hey!” I ...said. “Why’s Mom in the sack?”
She then proceeded to tell me the story, which let me tell you, scarred me for life. There is nothing worse in the entire world than something happening to your mother. I mean, if you look back at every childhood story from Hansel and Gretel to Sleeping Beauty to Snow White—name one, it doesn’t matter—the mother is dead. That’s why kids are completely freaked out when their mother goes to bed off schedule. By the time she was finished giving me the details, I was shaking all over from head to toe.MoreLess
