they'll play outside a while longer. i don't want them to see that. too many questions. june's dead. frank shot himself. now perry's did what he did. i suppose i'm next. some ruination will visit me. it does in this family. i used to love him. he was my little doll. he scares me now. ten years. take the whole thing. i don't want'em anymore. just. perry doesn't know where i live. he thinks we're still in portland. please don't tell him we're not. don't be taken in by my brother. he's got this sensitive side he'll show. you believe he's gentle, so easily hurt. but he'd just as soon kill you as shake your hand. i believe that.
