The Risk Pool (2011)
“There were just a few cars parked in the shade along the way and none of them looked like the sort that would belong to my father. I did not mind walking, or even not knowing where we were headed.

There was a tiny open window on the side wall of the shack and my father peeked in before unfastening the screen door from its outside hook. The door moaned on its hinges a little, but the sleeper did not stir.
When the screen hit the side of the shack like a pistol shot, the feet resting on the legs of the tilting chair went straight up in the air.MoreLess
