HALFWAY DOWN THE BLOCK, ALL PHYSICAL SENSATION LEFT me. The cold. The noise. The ringing in my ears. The rushing of my blood. It all left me, and there was nothing. Hollowness. Detachment. Like I was dead and the world had ceased to exist. All my reservations were gone; I was going to do what I had come there to do.
I got to the gate. I opened it. And then I could hear Elaine again, crying the way she’d been crying on Christmas Day, saying, “You might not be able to do this with us no more.”
I wanted to kill him so badly. So badly. And the faces of my kids kept flashing in front of me.
I turned to Tony.
He looked at me expectantly.
I shook my head and started walking away.
“Teddy, what? That’s it?” he said.
“That’s it.”
I wish I could say the rage went away. But it wasn’t that easy. I had to keep reminding myself of my responsibilities, thinking of the people who loved me and counted on me. I had to keep thinking about what would happen to them. Otherwise I was lost.
