Glass (Crank 2)

Friday at three. He’s starting pitcher.

“Very cool. Are you bringing Hunter?”

Like she would leave him with a baby-

sitter. If she’s going, he’s going too.

Her voice totally cools. Of course.

We’re going out to dinner afterward.

You’re welcome to come with us.

Everything clicks completely into

place. Unreal. Maybe we’ll take

you up on that. See you Friday.

Who Knew Burglary

Could be such a piece of cake?

A major dose of the monster

provides plenty of courage.

Trey parks his car well away

from the house, and we hoof

it from there. I could use my

key, but we want this to

look like the real deal, so we go around

back, trying windows as we go.

We’re in luck with the laundry room.

It’s a small window, but I shimmy

through, then unlock the sliding

glass door, just like real burglars

might do. Wait. We’re real burglars,

and getting caught would mean jail.

Getting caught doing any of this

would mean major jail time.

Why worry about it now? Mom

keeps her checks in her desk.
