Gilmore River

She’s beside the chimney.


April says, “It’s tough. You know, I gonna feed my baby. I gonna work after this, another job after this. I go home and I see him sleeping. He sleeping in the bed. And I thought to myself ‘hell, I forgot to take him out of the bed!’ You know what I’m saying? He’s like two years old, and I forgot to lethim out.” April emphasizes on ‘forgot’.


She gave April a look. She had nothing to say.


She said: “Sh*t, these chimneys are so big.”


“Yeah, I know.” April relied.


She didn’t know who she was talking to. She didnt know who April was responding to.


She’s off the shift. She usually takes No 22 to the tomb to see her girl. But she was so confused. Who is she speaking with? Why asking anyway?


So she chooses another path today. Gilmore River waits her at the end, waiting to dissolve all her asking.
