Turtle Moon
“He's known it for a long time. An opportunity presents itself to you, you take it, whether it's a wallet left unguarded, a record store clerk looking in the opposite direction, or a dark, empty road, which leads in two directions. Stop to think and the momentum fades away, imagine a baby waking in the morning after you're gone and searching the house for you, imagine a dog slowly starving to death in the heat, and you'll wind up trotting back the way you've come instead of heading for the Inter...state, the way you'd planned. All that night the boy stayed awake wondering why he didn't run when he had the chance, after Julian had disappeared down the driveway, and in the morning, while he ate his oatmeal with raisins, he was still kicking himself for the chance not taken.
He doesn't plan to miss his chance again, he's not about to stick around until someone figures he's guilty of murder or kidnapping or even petty theft. Yes, he brings the breakfast dishes to the sink for Miss Giles and he fills up the little wading pool for the baby and holds her hand so she won t slip while she's hopping around in the tepid water, but that doesn't mean he's staying.MoreLess
