FATIMA

Bronx-Orange high school, front courtyard, Wednesday, fourteen days before the hanging, 3:00 p.m. . . .

Fatima leaned against the mailbox to write her sister a letter.

Two weeks now and no word from the east.

She dropped the letter into the box as Mik hurried from school.

“Good day?”

“Perfect,” Mik said.

“You are a fantastically bad liar. Show me your sketch.”

Mik pulled a roll of drawing paper from a cardboard tube.

Fatima studied the drawing topped with a teacher’s writing: Fabulous work, Mik. “More empty streets.” Fatima dragged Mik uphill by the hand.

“Where we going?”

“I think you will be a remarkable artist someday very soon, but only if you learn to do one thing first. You must let people into your dreamworld. Come, I will show you something. Something you don’t know about you.”
