The Boy Detective Fails
“—No. He does not. He has a very healthy diet and rarely eats candy.
Does the boy detective have a lovely singing voice?
—No. No, he does not.
Is the boy detective happy?
—No. He is not. He has not been happy for more than a day or so at a time.
Why not?
—Ah. Because he is irrevocably alone and incurably lonely.
ONE The boy detective falls out of bed. The sight of him lying on the floor sure is something. He moans, turns off the ringing owl alarm clock, and begins dressing. All the clothes in hi...s wardrobe are, of course, exactly the same: blue cardigan sweater, dark pants, white shirt, blue and orange owl tie. This is his uniform from when he was a boy and, when forced to buy new clothes, wanted to waste no time choosing what might look nice.
The boy detective waits for the bus, checking his watch every ten seconds. It is raining and gray. Early morning commuters stand around him, some listening to headphones, some cowering beneath their shiny umbrellas. The boy detective did not think to bring an umbrella.MoreLess
