the boy was narrating the big news of the day. (big news dolores had missed due to her work.) he’d helped mr. moreno stock groceries and wash windows. mrs. villanueva commented on his good manners. his reward was a strawberry candy. he watched people play basketball until cool blues doused blacktop bleachers.
he also accidentally drank caffeinated coffee. his leg bounces and jigs. his penny coin eyes narrow. he’s solving it. ketchup. catch up. “ is that a – a what’s-it-called? ” talking very fast in his southern tongue. “ ketchup for the burger. catch up since we’re talkin’ news. ” he laughs, shrill, sharp, like a hyena.
he presses a napkin to his forehead. “ y-yes, i would like a burger, please. ”
