Description
THE MOTHER JIGGLES HER KEY in the ancient lock, nudges open the heavy oak door with her shoulder, and freezes on the threshold. The father steps around her, enters the kitchen of the family cottage--last summer he and his daughter painted these walls sunshine yellow-and drops one of his two bags of groceries onto the linoleum. The thirteen-year-old daughter's mouth glitters with braces. She squeezes her gym bag to her chest and says, "Holy crap." The stove is burned black, the ceiling tiles above it are scorched, and the adjacent side of the refrigerator is sooted. Bed sheets hang over the windows, one of which has been shattered, the broken glass removed. A faint ammonia smell lingers, and the kitchen garbage can is full of empty Sudafed packages and coffee filters and crumpled tinfoil.
