The Lion
Little old Dotty Bennet had a lion’s head!What a mane it had, too, and ferocious teeth, a real wild hunter that you’d think might pounce right off the wall and onto you. Adults, they say it couldn’t come alive if Doctor Frankenstein had done his best work on it, and things of that nature just wouldn’t happen around parts like these, but when we sat together as kids and thought about it, what other purpose could it serve if not to protect the old golfing clubs and baseball cards behind the front counter?

Wow. What a crazy world I live in. There was so much to see, so much going on. With my whole life up to this point having occurred in our home, I was a little overwhelmed being out in the open for the first time. My older sisters had told me about the outside world but being out here for myself is totally different. A lot of this I had sensed on my older sisters when they returned from outside our home. But it was so much more substantial being able to experience it myself.This was my first time outside of my family’s home since I was born. Our home had seemed like such a big place when I was ...
