Gabe’s Journal

Doc,

Saw her again, the girl, Abby, walking down highway 101 in the dark. I’d like to say white people are dumb (and I don’t mean to sound prejudiced. My bio-dad was white, Dale and Martha are white. Okay. Sorry. Maybe I am being a little racist. We both know how I feel about my bio-dad. And ask me how many of the Freak Challenge Fights were with white people? All of them. That’s a stat for you), but she doesn’t have a white name. Her name makes my tongue trip over the sound. Her dad isn’t white. He’s definitely brown, like me. Like us. I suppose if I’d been in her situation, ditched at a party by my date, I would have taken the walk too. I saw her, didn’t think about it, and just pulled over to pick her up. I drove her home. She called me a hero. I can’t stop chewing on that word.
