SOME MEMORIES SUCK

At barely five o’clock, the air was sweltering and Ol’ Sol hadn’t shown any signs of retiring. Tim smiled at the kids on their afternoon play shift and thought that for a shadow, the summer meant a lot of overtime. As he remembered chasing down his own shadow on broken sidewalks, his smile became a giggle, his walk a jog. The dark boy shape on the pavement matched him stride for stride—until the wombat face of Chucky loomed into mind.

Maybe the dude wasn’t dead, had played possum ’till he’d left, like he did when Maurice and them kicked his ass. The delusion made him sick, unable to think or see for the water welling up in his eyes. But deeply he knew that those tears were really for his pitiful father who had fucked up and died on him just that morning. The stark cold reality was that there wasn’t room inside him for two dead bodies at the moment.

As the darkness soothed him, the memory of the one and only summer his mom let him go on painting jobs with his dad seeped into his mind. He was twelve years old and about to start middle school.
