We lived across the street from a prominent attorney.
And one time, my friend Eddie asked him if he could make him a hero
like Kit Carson. Like the book that Andrew had read in the library at school.
Eddie and I knew each other in school in Elementary school.
My sister told me we hadn’t known each other and
that when I asked her how Eddie had died and when, she
had responded that he had died of Syphilis.
I thought she meant syPhylis?
