I was on the sofa, wallowing in self-pity and blankets, when my sister answered the door.
“Sadie, honey,” old Mr. Smith said from the hallway, “I beg your pardon. So sorry for your loss, again, but are you going to cross the street soon? It’s just that I haven’t had anything to eat since Thursday.”
Now, I was sitting in the exact same spot the day before when Sadie gave him a can of beans after he said the exact same words, but Sadie just smiled and spoke receptionist-polite to him. “I’ll have to ask my momma, Mr. Smith, but I’m sure it’ll be soon.”Click here to listen to Episode 240Click here to read the text of the storyTags: Artemis Rising, Artemis Rising 3, brother, cars, Cast of Wonders, danger, drivers, family, Gail Carriger, inequality, Jeremy Carter, loss, Marie Vibbert, neighbors, pedestrians, poverty, Roberto Suarez, sister, street, Young Adult fiction
