I read this book in high school. Some fifteen years later and I'm still looking for fingers in the drain. Sometimes I get nervous around construction sites, driving around in my Cadillac. I'm still counting my pretty ponys. Nowadays, I'm listening for Kurt Cobain and Shannon Hoon as we pass through the small towns. My daughter's teacher, she kind of zones out and I wonder how she sees the children, grinning at her. As if they have a secret. Some days I get the shakes just thinking about it. Sometimes I get this facial tick and I have to hold my face down. Anyone else have days like that? Stephen King kind of Acid Flashbacks, where you figure that the next rainy season just might bring on the frogs with razor sharp teeth?
