The Kill-Off (2011)
“He didn’t act much different or say anything much more out of the way than he usually does—I guess he really didn’t actually. But I kept feeling like he knew about Bobbie and me, and that that was why he was acting and talking the way he was. And finally I just got so nervous and scared that I jumped up from the table, and ran up to my room.
Afterwards, sitting up on the edge of my bed, I was scared even more. I thought, Oh, golly, now I have done it. Now, he will know there’s something wro...ng, if he doesn’t already. I shivered and shook. I began to get sick to my stomach; kind of a morning sickness like I’ve had a lot lately. But I didn’t dare go to the bathroom. He might hear me, and come upstairs. He might start asking Mama questions, and that would be just as bad, because she’s even scareder of him than I am.
It’s funny how we feel about him; I mean, the way we’re always so scared of him. Because there’s actually no real reason to be.MoreLess
