My Last Walk Home
She stormed into my room.
It was tiny.
Just a bed, a desk, and a little bookshelf.
Mom stood in the middle of it, looking around.
Then she went to my desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out my sketchbook.
She'd bought it after I got the highest score in my class.
Light blue cover. Little white rabbit.
I'd filled it with drawings.
Besides studying, drawing was the only thing I had.
Mom opened the sketchbook, glanced at it, and started ripping.
