“And I put my hand on her arm to stop her rowing.
Aaron鈥檚 Noise roars up in red and black.
The current takes us on.
鈥淚鈥檓 sorry!鈥� I cry as the river takes us away, my words ragged things torn from me, my chest pulled so tight I can鈥檛 barely breathe. 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry, Manchee!鈥�
鈥淭odd?鈥� he barks, confused and scared and watching me leave him behind. 鈥�Todd?鈥�
鈥淢anchee!鈥� I scream.
Aaron brings his free hand towards my dog.
鈥淢础狈颁贬贰贰!鈥�
鈥�Todd?鈥�
And Aaron wrenches his arms and there鈥檚 a CRACK and a scream and a cut-off yelp that tears my heart in two forever and forever.
And the pain is too much it鈥檚 too much it鈥檚 too much and my hands are on my head and I鈥檓 rearing back and my mouth is open in a never-ending wordless wail of all the blackness 迟丑补迟鈥檚 inside of me.”

“Manchee comes outta the bushes and sits down next to me cuz I鈥檝e stopped right there in the middle of a trail. He looks around to see what I might be seeing and then he says, 鈥滸ood poo, Todd.鈥�
鈥滻鈥檓 sure it was, Manchee.鈥�
I鈥檇 better not get another ruddy dog when my birthday comes. What I want this year is a hunting knife like the one Ben carries on the back of his belt. Now 迟丑补迟鈥檚 a present for a man.
鈥淧oo,鈥� Manchee鈥檚 says quietly.”

“Spackle!鈥� Manchee barks, tho he鈥檚 too chicken to attack now that I鈥檝e held back. 鈥淪packle! Spackle! Spackle!鈥�
鈥淪hut up, Manchee,鈥� I say.
鈥沦辫补肠办濒别!鈥�
鈥淚 said shut up!鈥� I shout, which stops him.
鈥淪packle?鈥� Manchee says, unsure of things now.
I swallow, trying to get rid of the pressure in my throat, the unbelieveable sadness that comes and comes as I look at it looking back at me. Knowledge is dangerous and men lie and the world keeps changing, whether I want it to or not.
Cuz, it ain鈥檛 a Spackle.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a girl,鈥� I say.
It鈥檚 a girl.”
