Vote (2013)
“I was dreaming about Tina. She and I were arm in arm on the stage of the school auditorium, waving to the clapping audience. Cash was sitting in a corner, weeping. His face was splotchy, he looked pale and out of shape and a river of snot flowed from his nose.
“Dutchdeefuddy. Wake up.”
Tina smiled up at me while everyone chanted: “KEV KEV KEV.” And then Cash poked me in the eye with something soft and fuzzy.
“Hey, it’s morning.”

I closed my eyes again, trying to picture the position of the clock hands and wishing I had a digital alarm clock. And that Markie could count past six.
7:28. My eyes flew open and I jumped out of bed, sending Markie tumbling to the floor with a soft whump.MoreLess
