Rumors are born with legs that can run a mile in less than a minute.

Rumors eat up dreams without condiments.

Rumors do not have expiration dates.

Rumors can be deadly.

Rumors can get you killed.

There’s this rumor that DC was built on top of a swamp and the Chocolate City is slowly sinking into mud. That’s why the humid heat sticks to your skin like cement glue. That’s why white clouds of gnats swarm like biblical locusts. That’s why alligators crawl out of sewers and eat stray animals and babies left alone in their strollers.

“None of that’s true,” Ma told me as I hid inside.

“How do you know?” I asked.

She shrugged, shucking fresh corn for our barbecue.

“I dug into it myself. You think I’d raise my baby on some swamp?” she chuckled. “You can’t always believe everything people tell you. Sometimes you got to find out stuff for yourself.”
