I flip the book over to the back cover and study the author’s picture. A handsome young guy wearing a leather bomber jacket. He died when he was only forty, in 1916. I wonder why he died so young. My mother’s age. I make a note to check on it in the library at school tomorrow.

By the time I’m beginning chapter five, it grows too dark to read, so I drive around to find a place to sleep tonight. Since Earl is suspicious now, I park in front of my mom’s again. I set my alarm for 6:15 so I can run. Training season for cross-country begins in a couple weeks and I want to be ready. I’m hoping Coach Baker takes me back on the team, even with my criminal record.

I try to sleep, but my mind buzzes with too much information. I almost wish my life were like that guy’s in Memento, where every day he wakes up and doesn’t recall yesterday. But my life is not a movie.
