When the Alpha Howls
At first, all I saw was the empty yard, the wet porch, the slick gleam of the path.
Then a figure stepped into frame. Bailey Wright stood in my front yard wearing a bright yellow raincoat over what looked like pajama pants covered in cartoon ghosts. Her hair was shoved into a messy knot on top of her head, and she held a baseball bat in one hand and a tote bag in the other.
She looked directly at the camera and mouthed something exaggeratedly.
Probably: let me in before I drown.
A moment later, she reached the door.
Knock. Knock. Pause. Knock. Then, muffled through the wood, “Purple lilies, babe. Also, I’m wet, armed, and emotionally fragile.”
