Appearances
The rugs, soft and deep, made in foreign countries by people who had been weaving rugs for a thousand years.
A wardrobe full of beautiful dresses.
Shoes for every day of the week.
A library filled floor to ceiling with books.
A fireplace that never seemed to go out.
How could someone have all that and not miss it?
Mom slows the car down near a mailbox with a cartoon of a coyote chasing a roadrunner painted on the side.
The flag you put up when you've got mail going out is a star-shaped cartoon explosion with the word POW written inside it.
The tires bounce over rocks when Mom pulls onto the dirt road next to the mailbox.
I look in the rearview mirror and see clouds of yellow dust being thrown into the sky behind us.
Mom swerves, trying to avoid potholes so deep I feel the impact shudder through my tailbone and into my spine.
She keeps driving, faster than we should on a road like this.
Because of the mailbox, I'm thinking about cartoons, how a car like this would fall apart in a TV show.
The doors, hood, trunk, roof, and tires would just disassemble and crash into the dirt, leaving us exposed in our seats, looking confused.
Up ahead, I see a building.
Mom calls it double-wide.
Not quite a house and not quite a trailer.
Mom's jaw gets tighter as we get closer.
I count at least four cars parked at weird angles around the place.
Two are missing tires and up on blocks.
