Deda came and knocked on my door. I opened it for I could
never turn her away and Janet knew it. Deda piped up and said, “My mom wants
you to come over” and scurried of with her little blond locks bouncing as she
ran. I left my trailer and locked the door with the key. Leaving the bolt lock
on the handle and went to Janets house right behind and across the drive from
my trailer. I knocked on Janet’s door and she asked me to come in. There was a
change in her face. I had a charisma that would often supersede others who
weren’t real and just out for sex, drugs, or fun. Baby Roo had on a black hat
with a red sash black pants and a black blouse and Janet had white pants and a
light blue blouse on. Janet sat on the couch and was quiet. I looked at her as
if to say what. Baby Roo took the queue and left the trailer. Within seconds
she burst back through the trailer door and exclaimed, “Thor your trailers on
fire!” I ran out the door and looked across the drive. I could see the flames
inside through the window that faced Janet’s trailer. I ran around the corner
of my trailer towards the front door. I was worried that Joe was in the trailer
and began calling his name. I reached the front door, and the lock I had put on
the trailer handle was on the door, locked. No way out except the windows. I
picked up a cinder block and hurled it at the window. It bounced off and
shattered on the ground in front of me. All the while I’m yelling, “Joe! Joe!”
I picked up a piece of the cinder block and threw it at the window again. This
time the safety glass in the bed room area exploded. The flames were licking
the ceiling and had completely engulfed the main living area. I herd Baby Roo
yell “Joes over here” I rushed over to hold him and stood back with the other
bystanders and watched my home burn.
