"Davie chews the green gum, mixes it in his mouth with the rest of the purple. It's so sweet, so delicious. He thinks about the multi-colored light that's inside his body now, and he likes the idea. He goes on. He goes up. He already knows he's going to write it. the story of that day. It'll be called The Death of Jimmy Killen or Corpse at the Construction Site or Blood on the Green Plaid Shirt or The Ghost in the Pie. Or maybe he'll call it something else, something that's going to happen, you don't know what the rest of the day will bring."
