BIRTHDAY FLOWERS

birthday flowers Him! He got up and took a paper off another chair.He might as well appear to be reading when she came through again. No use having her standing up there staring at him, believing she had to think up something for him to do. birthday flowers He looked over the paper at the window across the alley.The geranium wasn't there yet.It had never been this late before. The first day he'd seen it, he had been sitting there looking out the window at the other window and he had looked at his watch to see how long it had been since breakfast. birthday flowers When he looked up, it was there.He didn't like flowers, but the geranium didn't look like a flower. It looked like the sick Grisby boy at home and it was the color of the drapes the old ladies had in the parlor and the paper bow on it looked like the one behind Lutish's uniform she wore on Sundays. birthday flowers Lutish had a fondness for sashes.Most riggers did, Old Dudley thought. of a house inhabited by a bunch of other people who we'll forget in a year, I could have just momentarily slipped your mind. birthday flowers Home? he repeated.

The geranium was late today. It was ten-thirty. They usually had it out by ten-fifteen. birthday flowers Somewhere down the hall a woman shrilled something unintelligi ble out to the street; a radio was bleating the worn music to a soap serial; and a garbage can crashed down a fire escape. The door to the next apartment slammed and a sharp footstep clipped down the hall. birthday flowers His face in the waning afternoon light looked ravaged and abandoned. He could feel the boy's steady hate, traveling at an even pace behind him and he knew that birthday flowers (if by some miracle they escaped being murdered in the city) it would continue just that way for the rest of his life. He knew that now he was wandering into a black strange place where nothing was like it had ever been before, birthday flowers a long old age without respect and an end that would be welcome because it would be the end.
