Five-year-old Ivy Gleason huddled in the corner of her bedroom beneath
a small tent made from a thin superhero bed sheet. One side was taped
to the wall, the other draped over a kitchen chair covered in peeling red
vinyl. A small lamp illuminated the space, diecast cars lined up along
imaginary roads.
Driving rain drummed heavily on the roof of the trailer, drowning out the
sound of her stomach growling. In her arms she held a naked plastic doll with
one eye open and one eye closed. “Are you hungry, baby?” she whispered,
rocking her gently in her arms. “You’ve been such a good girl today. I can
make you some dinner.”
A riotous crack of thunder made her jump, and she hugged the dolly close
to her chest. Going in search of dinner meant leaving her tiny fortress, but
she’d waited as long as she could. “Come on, baby. Let’s get some food.”
She crawled out of the tent. A pot sat atop her bedspread, water running
from a drip in the ceiling in a steady stream and spilling over onto Ivy’s bed
in a dark, round stain.
Momma would be angry. Ivy didn’t want to empty the pot, but she knew
she had to. She put the doll down and picked up the pot, water sloshing over
the side as she headed toward the bathroom. A crack of thunder made her
spill a bit of water. She paused at the mouth of the dimly lit hallway and
stared into the darkness. The bulb had been out for days and days, and she
squeezed her eyes shut. Another boom of thunder made her shake, sloshing
water onto her nightie.
She scrunched her face in frustration and made haste to the bathroom,
turning on a light before emptying the pot into the shower.
