The pounding is distant and steady like a heartbeat. It kicks you out of sleep so you’re sitting, shoving the blankets back.

Shout, “Mom! Mom, wake up! Mom!”

“Shut up, you fucking doorknob.”

Mom is hard to wake. She might not hear them kicking in your front door. Go wake her up. Run around the apartment trying to find her.

Shake her hard. “Get up, get up. I hear something.”

There’s a man in your mother’s bed. Sometimes they sleep over.

“Where’s Mom?” you ask him.

“Get this freak off me!” the man says.

The room is full of beds. Men flinch from the lights as they go on.

“I’m going to have to ask you to calm down,” a large man in blue overalls says. “You can’t go around screaming –”

They’re coming down the hallway. You hear them marching down the hallway. Run for the bedroom window and crawl out. Run. Run down the street and hide.
