One-Eyed Jack
“I worried that if I did, I’d sleep through until morning, since didn’t have an alarm clock. I hadn’t thought to bring one, and if my phone had an alarm as an option, I didn’t know where.
The thing is, I didn’t know what else to do. I wasn’t sure I dared go back to talk to Jenny again – what if the cops were patrolling the area? I hadn’t seen any before, but that was before Jack came home.
I had two days before my flight home, but I didn’t know what to do with them. I didn’t know what Jenny want...ed, not really. I didn’t know how to find her if she wasn’t staying under the big tulip poplar. I didn’t know what I really hoped to accomplish.
I pulled the car over on a quiet street and tried to think, and the question became moot – I dozed off without meaning to. After all, it wasn’t as if I’d been getting lots of sleep.
I dreamed, of course. I saw Jack and his folks finishing their supper, and I saw his parents trying to be nice to him, and I saw his kid sister staring at the bandage on his hand where his finger used to be.MoreLess
