S.E.Hinton

First things first.

like a dog pack about to be set loose.

turn him into a hood

hollering his head off,

fins and tails

all those little animals waiting around to belong to somebody

though nothing had worked so far, that didn’t mean nothing ever would.

I was so scared I dropped my head down on the counter and cried for the first time I could remember.

I looked all around. There wasn’t any colors anywhere.

I was in a glass bubble and everyone else was outside it and I’d be alone like that for the rest of my life.
