--Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings
“He said what I did was pretty amazing, and he wanted to hear the whole story—everything. So I told him. Except that I didn’t include how we’d seen the red kayak that morning, and how we didn’t bother to call out a warning.”

“After all this time, I still ask myself: Was it my fault? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, I wonder what would have happened if I’d called out a warning. Or kept my mouth shut later.”
--Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings “Back at home all was the same! Dad never there except occasionally for one of mother’s dry, burned little meals, mother coiled tight inside her shell of angry, resentful silence; my brother in his, and I in mine. Of course, my silence was no longer a matter of choice.”
