Tin Lily
“Pratchett’s office on time. “Remember, Lilybeans, fifteenth floor, number 1504. It’s on that post-it in your pocket too. Tell Dr. Pratchett hello from me, okay?”
“Okay, Aunt Margie. See you in awhile.”
I get out of Margie’s car where the bus stop is. There’s no bus now—just us. I walk across the field of concrete. Thin clouds make everything gray now, dim the sky, the trees.
I find the elevator and ride up by myself. Fifteenth floor, number 1504. I open a door, see there’s another door too, int...o the therapy office I guess. I’m sitting in a chair in the waiting room, waiting. None of the magazines look good, so I just sit and try to figure out my next focus. Finish The Stand. It’s a good one and reminds me of Margie’s toasty chair.
A few minutes or a few hours later, the knob to the inner office twists. A man who has to duck through the doorway comes into the waiting room. He’s got dark and light gray hair, all mixed up like concrete that’s dry in some spots, wet in others.MoreLess
