Queenie Grace Feels Fire

I am burned. The man Mike did this once before with his cigarette, but nobody noticed. Not even Bill, because sly Mike did it on my underside.

I feel the spot on my back, seared, sore. I feel fire.

This man Mike is full of anger. He is full of anger and he is full of danger and he is full of hate.

I can smell it from a mile away.
