Abstract

A few days before I was to finish third grade, a tornado destroyed my family’s home in Arkansas, and we had to move to a new house across the street from the scariest girl in school. One day that summer, she tied her younger brother to a tree and spent the afternoon throwing a small axe at him like a knife thrower at the circus. When I screamed for her to stop before she hurt him, she simply glared at me and said, “Go to hell, you motherfucker.”.
