My mother does not exist anymore. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. My mother Addie was alive once, but I don’t have a mother anymore. I told my wooden brother Jewel that his mother was a horse. My mother is gone. I know a secret. Dewey Dell is pregnant with Lafe’s baby. How do I know that you ask? It’s a gift that I can sneak into people’s minds and know about their private lives. I guess that’s the reason why nobody wants to talk to me anymore. They can’t trust me. Well they can’t trust me because I can’t trust anyone else. My mother is dead. She is gone. That’s why I’m going away. The officers are taking me away. I am in a cage.
