I was a 10-year old stunned by an adult that made a remark
like a bully in a schoolyard.

Swastikas on a gang with Doberman Pinchers dissolve to a supermarket in a

He was doing the shopping because she couldn’t work within
budget.
He needed to save money for his 3-week vacation with his
mistress in Puerto Rico.
He left us every summer. And I went where he wouldn’t let me
travel beyond Star Trek.
Here’s Johnny.
