Jealousy

I am lying in a narrow single bed in a room no bigger than a closet, in a tiny apartment. The pad of

paper I’ve been drawing on this trip is a collection of hard edges against my chest; I hug it harder.

Outside the window, Brooklyn rumbles like a big sleeping beast. It’s the traffic in the distance,

speaking in its own tongueless grumble. They’ve come back from cleaning out a rat spirit infestation, and they’re bushed. Outside the cracked-open door I hear the clink of glasses, liquid being

poured, and my father speaks again.

“You have to, August. I can’t leave her anywhere else, and I’ve gotta—”

Augustine interrupts. “Jesus Christ, Dwight, you know how dangerous this is. And she’s just a kid.

Why leave her with me?”
