Chapter Eighteen

There was a brief moment when I first found myself in Ghost Town that I wondered what Dad might be think when he woke up in front of the buzzing television, surrounded by empty green bottles, and realized that he was alone in the house. No dog barking. No closed bedroom door down the hallway. No Jimmy slaving away at his homework or pulling together garbage bags full of empties.

I wondered if his mind would trip over the situation at all or if he'd pop open a brand new bottle, sip it long and deep, and settle back in for some more mindless entertainment. I wondered if he'd call the cops or the neighbors, or if he'd start panicking and tossing everything around our house until he found what he was looking for (like he does when he can't find the remote control).

But, mostly, I wondered what he'd do when he realized that I was, in fact, gone. I wondered if he'd heave a sigh of relief that it was just him now or if he'd do everything he could to find me. I wondered if he was the kind of father I remember him to be when Mom was still around and we were expecting my almost-sister. I wondered if he'd man up, throw out his own empties (and not make anymore), throw on his boots, and head into the woods to search for me. I secretly hoped he would, but I couldn't be sure of anything. Not anymore. Not with Dad.
