He had never been accused of being intelligent but Donald knew enough that he needed to help his momma.
She was lying on the floor and her lips were blue.
They didn’t have a phone in the apartment. His momma said they couldn’t afford one and her cell phone.
He didn’t know how to use her cell phone.
Donald poked her in the arm and began chanting, “Momma. Momma. Momma.”
He began crying, his voice rising until he was wailing.
Their neighbor pounded on the wall. “Shut up, retard!”
He cried harder.
He stumbled up, yanked open the door and stepped out into the big, scary world.
