Tiger Town (2013)
““Who is that and what does he —”
Mr. McCurdy popped his head out of the driver’s side window of the rig! He had on a baseball cap, his grey hair sticking out from under it in a thousand different directions. He was wearing his special driving glasses — special because they helped him see, but also because they were pink women’s cat’s-eye glasses, covered in rhinestones, which he’d bought at a flea market.
“Sarah! Nick!” he yelled, waving to us.
Running to the side of the truck, we looked up — way up — to where he sat. He opened the door and started to climb down. He looked so small against the massive truck. I was afraid he might fall, so I tried to get underneath him and catch him if he did.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“I live here, remember?”
“Of course, but —”
“I just asked you to watch my house for a few days, not move in for good!”
“I … I mean, I just wasn’t expecting you back at least until tomorrow, or even a couple of days from now.”
