When I was a kid, my mom constantly invented games. The Quiet Game.
The Who Can Make Their Cookie Last Longer? Game. A perennial
favorite, The Marshmallow Game involved eating marshmallows while
wearing puffy Goodwill jackets indoors, to avoid turning on the heat. The
Flashlight Game was what we played when the electricity went out. We
never walked anywhere—we raced. The floor was nearly always lava. The
primary purpose of pillows was building forts.
Our longest-lasting game was called I Have A Secret, because my mom
said that everyone should always have at least one. Some days she guessed
mine. Some days she didn’t. We played every week, right up until I was
fifteen and one of her secrets landed her in the hospital.
The next thing I knew, she was gone.
“Your move, princess.” A gravelly voice dragged me back to the present.
“I don’t have all day.”
“Not a princess,” I retorted, sliding one of my knights into place. “Your
move, old man.”
Harry scowled at me. I didn’t know how old he was, really, and I had no
idea how he’d come to be homeless and living in the park where we played
chess each morning. I did know that he was a formidable opponent.
“You,” he grumbled, eyeing the board, “are a horrible person.”
Three moves later, I had him. “Checkmate. You know what that means,
Harry.”
He gave me a dirty look. “I have to let you buy me breakfast.” Those
were the terms of our long-standing bet. When I won, he couldn’t turn
down the free meal.
To my credit, I only gloated a little. “It’s good to be queen.”
