The Blood Ballad
“I yawned as Eleanore pulled up in her big station wagon. Everybody participating in the birding Olympics was meeting at the commuter parking lot just on the edge of the south part of town. I waved, blithely thinking that she’d be happy that I was on time for this stupid meditation. I was mistaken.
“Caffeine! How do you intend to meditate if you’re hopped up on caffeine?”
“Geez, Eleanore, it’s not like I’m taking speed,” I said defensively.
Before I could say anything more, Eleanore moved in fro...nt of the headlights on her station wagon. She was dressed entirely, from head to toe, in camouflage. Her face was painted various shades of green and tan. And somehow Eleanore had managed to find a lady’s wide-brimmed hat in camouflage colors. She had a big feather of some sort sticking out of the back of it. Upon closer scrutiny, I noticed that she’d even painted her fingernails alternately with green and tan. Well, when Eleanore decided to blend, she could blend.
I, on the other hand, was wearing long underwear, a pair of jeans, Doc Martens, a Rams sweatshirt, and a big fuzzy blue hat that Rachel had knitted for me in her crafts class at school.MoreLess
