Richard inhales deeply and lets out the longest breath he can muster. He opens the refrigerator door and stares inside for a while. Nothing. Nothing he can just reach for and shove into his mouth. He goes to the cabinets above the counter, throws them open. Hmm . . . There are graham crackers and peanut butter. That will have to do.

Once Richard has fixed his snack and sat down to eat, Jamal pushes through the swinging door. He chuckles to himself when he sees Richard just about to take his first bite. “What’s that?” he says, pointing toward the kitchen window.

Richard turns. “What?” he says. He sees nothing out the kitchen window but the old Chinese elm and the tire swing no one has used in a while. When he turns back around, Jamal has disappeared and so have his peanut butter graham crackers. Richard sighs and gets the peanut butter and crackers down and starts all over. He won’t fall for that trick again. At least not any time soon.
