Stepping
Mama never let me leave. I’m fifteen now. I just want to walk around our neighborhood. I’d tell her. But each time, she’d say something to the effect of, “Do you wanna end up like that girl in the news? She said the same and ended up dead in a ditch.” Except each day, Mama would describe some other horrific thing she’d heard. A car accident down the road, two injured. Stacy, 24, will never be able to walk again due to her spinal cord injury. Her boyfriend Jerry, 30, who drove, only broke his left leg. She emphasized the only part—she always told me men belonged to the devil. A shooting last Wednesday at the St. Claire Mall, 5 shot, one killed. Marsha, who died, just turned 12. She was still holding her mother’s hand when she looked down to see the bright red puddle pouring from her stomach. I wonder how Mama could’ve gotten those kinds of details; the things she described would never make it to the newspaper. Then again, she’d never let me read all of the paper. She’d mark out paragraphs with a sharpie like the government does with classified documents. The number of obituaries and bible verses of the day I’ve read could fill this entire house. She called it schoolwork.

Let's Get Shopping
To be honest, I am still processing this novel. This was, without a doubt, unlike anything that I have ever read before. When I saw this laying on the counter of the kitchenette at work, I thought that it was some sort of catalog for furniture, but it turned out to be a novel so unique that I couldn’t put it down. The layout, the images, and the overall flow of this novel make the reading experience something quirky and different compared to the countless other novels on the market.
