I hurry from the parking lot, out onto the avenue. The bus is anywhere but here. The cabs are gone with the visiting hours. So be it. I start walking. Ka-klick ka-klick, my spikes—Ma’s—nail the pavement. I’m tripping all over myself in these cheap heels. The toilet paper jammed into the toes is flat now, and you can see the shoes are two sizes too big. I look like an idiot, and I am. I’m a fool. Weeds creep tall through fractured sidewalks. No one plays ball or jumps rope or rides a bicycle or even strolls. The streets are barren up here, except for a stray dog that reminds me less of Boo and more of the one that bit me. It’s tracking me. I cut through an industrial park where sad-eyed men whistle at me from their tractor-trailers and double-flash their high beams.
