When Crazy Annie and I walked up Old Grove hill before noon today, I said, "Something really bad has happened."
"What do you mean, Gordy?"
"I don't know what it is, but I can feel it." When we walked in the Crazy House, Byron and Rose Nelson, Otto Schuman, and old Mrs. Hahn were standing in the parlor. Mother was sitting on the couch, crying, screaming, "Your father is dead."
I ran down the basement.
Much later, Punky Myers' dad found me and said, "I heard your father fell from a ladder the other day."
I bawled like a baby. Mr. Myers hugged me. He didn't realize he was hugging a murderer.
