Zebra Forest (2013)
“Andrew Snow sent me on a supply run.
He’d been careful with the list. Unlike Gran’s lists, which consisted of anything she felt like that day, sometimes strange things, like peaches and avocados, sometimes chocolate or condensed milk, Andrew Snow’s list was methodical. It had all the food groups, including vegetables. Plus, he wanted a newspaper.
I dug the money out of one of Gran’s hiding places — a fake book that was really a box she kept in the bookcase. One of the jobs I’d gotten in the las...t year was doing Gran’s banking, which meant going to town and taking out the money we needed for the month. At the bank, Gran kept all the money the insurance company had given her after Grandpa Snow died, and to get some of it, I’d bring her withdrawal slip all filled out, and then go round the house with the fresh bills, filling up her several hiding places. The fake book was my favorite, and so I put twenties in there, because I used twenties at the grocery. I didn’t know how that book was meant to fool anyone, since it was unlike any other we had.MoreLess
