Thursday May 24, 1990 Do You
Want Some Cake?
Woke up this morning and Megs
was gone. I had just enough money for a
pack of cigarettes so I went around the corner to the gas station and got
some. Spent the day hanging around the
Zupec family’s house, reading and waiting for Megs to come back. She didn’t, but her sister did.
“Where’s Margie?” Gina asked.
“She’s gone,” I said.
“Where’d she go?”
“I thought she was going to
work this morning, but it’s…um, what time is it?”
“It’s 6:30 Eddie.”
“Yeah,” I continued, “Now
it’s 6:30 and I have no idea where she is.”
“And why are you here?” Gina
asked.
“You want some cake?”
