Wanderer Alone with a bottle Are you happy? Don’t you love us? Mother Alone in a bottle Who do you love? Not me Mother, Where are you now? I am alone Maggie Blume 5:30 A.M. Dad just came in with Mom. I heard him trying to get her to go up the stairs to her room. She was crying. Dad was telling her to keep quiet. She yelled that he should leave her alone. What would have happened if he hadn’t found her. Friday, 12:31 P.M. Mom is not up this morning. She was sleeping by the pool when I came home from work. Work. What a disaster. Piper noticed that I was tired this morning. She asked me if I was okay. I said I was fine. She said I liked pale. She was eating a bagel with cream cheese and offered me half. Told her I wasn’t hungry. Which I wasn’t. She asked me again if I was okay. Doesn’t anyone mind their own business? Fed dogs. Put Laddie in run. Fed cats. Put another dog in run. Swept floor. Suddenly Piper screamed from the back of the shelter, “Maggie, bring two leashes. Quick!”
