Deleted Chapter
Jul. 13th, 2008 03:48 pmHere is a half-chapter that was written for A Stabbing for Sadie but didn't make it into the finished book. It would have alluded to Sadie knowing a lot more about her first Dad. You will notice that I had not yet included the word "Tiamata" in this version. That came much later as it took me a long time to find just the right word for the Monster.
Forgot My Name
By Wednesday Lee Friday
(Edited from the novel A Stabbing for Sadie)
The Monster and I walked thru the shopping plaza. I was humming the Oscar Meyer bologna song to myself and trying to keep up with Her fast pace. She was pulling my arm right where the bruise was, and it was hurting. There was a drug store, grocery store, Buster Brown shoe store, some kind of arcade, and a Saunders ice cream parlor. My aunt used to take me there for hot fudge sundaes when The Monster was away.( Saunders is a real place in the Detroit area )
