I learned that these pirates were plagued by their own special sort of illness. The only foods they could stand to eat were potatoes and toasted bread products. They got nauseous at the mention of vegetables or anything that came from an animal. Instead of eating they plied their stomachs with stay-awake medicine. On the floor of the van, spilled coffee had soaked into little wax packets and powder-flecked ziplocks. All four boys, I noticed, were twitching constantly, glancing around with fretful eyes. This agitation made me feel closer to them. Their translucent skin, the dried sputum at the corners of their mouths, and the way their shrunken muscles hung as if ready to come off the bone meant they were nothing like the normal people I’d grown up with. I started laughing from the pleasure of being among people who had something wrong with them. Squinch looked at me suspiciously, maybe thinking I was crazy because I laughed at nothing but was so quiet the rest of the time. I assumed he had seen plenty of lunatics in his travels and would prefer them, in their illness, to the lackluster of the healthy sane.
