Me And My Daddy Listen To Bob Marley - Plot & Excerpts
Went out early that morning to the flat place by the creek where she practiced and saw straightaway the orange dirt they’d laid over the hole ripped up and sprayed. Without getting close enough to tell if the little body was gone, she wheeled and ran to the house to fetch her uncle. If they had to break more bad news to her grandfather, they could break it slow. But she and Uncle Derek weren’t halfway back to the grave when they heard the door whine open behind them. Granddad had sniftered it without being told. When they saw for sure the hole was empty, Uncle Derek shook his head. “Must have been coyotes.” He said it “kai oats,” which was how Granddad would say it, not how Uncle Derek, who had been to college, did. Joslin held her soccer ball between her elbow and ribs. She looked up at her grandfather, saw on his cheek the red webs brightening, and she pulled her head, just a little, back into her hood. “Yep. Coyotes dug er up and drug er off.” And that was all Granddad said.
