I went up to the Cool-It Room, where I had once been so happy. Joe the gorilla sat on the rocking chair, still grinning at me. I walked around, touched things, remembered. The Monopoly board was on the floor, stopped in the middle of a game we never finished. Jake’s top hat was sitting on Boardwalk. So were red hotels. I guess he was winning. Most of all it was the walls that got to me. Two of them, from the floor to as high as two little kids could reach, were filled with tic-tac-toe games. I cried. I got my pillow and my stuffed watermelon and a blanket to lie on. I’ll sleep here tonight.
