The Tales We Do Not Tell

"I know the exact moment time stood still. It was midnight October 31 1985 and I was running through The Farm with Baby. I remember thinking how heavy she was. And that maybe it was because I was twelve and a twelve year old isn't supposed to run holding a new-born in her arms, especially not through streets that still smoked with the residue of riot. Or maybe it was because she was wrapped in Daddy's winter coat, the light brown would-be-beige one with the tear under the left arm.
