'Power's being disconnected tomorrow,' says Mom. 'Did you get the advance? I've been counting on your advance, I mean, the power's only fifty-nine dollars for goodness sake, but then when the deputies came …'
'Ma, slow up - deputies came?'
'Uh-huh, around four-thirty. They were okay, I don't think Lally said anything yet.'
'So what'd you tell them?'capacitive dual sim
'I said you were with Dr Goosens. They said they'd check you at the clinic tomorrow.'
The Lechugas' teddy farm seems ole and squashed when I wake up next morning. Another Tuesday morning, two weeks after That Day. The shade under their willow is empty. Kurt is quiet, Mrs Porter's door is closed. Beulah Drive is clean of strangers for the first time since the tragedy. June is barely underway, but it's as if summer's liquor has evaporated, leaving this dry residue of horror. At ten-thirty the phone rings.
'Vernon, that'll be the power company - when can I tell them you'll have your advance from work?'
'Uh - I don't know.'
