Tom
and
Grandfather

they

in
at
home
and
Tom
said
,

The
courthouse
clock
struck
nine
and
it
was
getting
late
and
it
was
really
night
on
this
small
street
in
a
small
town
in
a
big
state
on
a
large
continent
on
a
planet
earth
hurtling
down
the
pit
of
space
toward
nowhere
or
somewhere
and
Tom
feeling
every
mile
of
the
long
drop
.
He
sat
by
the
front
-
door
screen
looking
out
at
that
rushing
blackness
that
looked
very
innocent
as
if
it
was
holding
still
.
Only
when
you
closed
your
eyes
and
lay
down
could
you
feel
the
world
spinning
under
your
bed
and
hollowing
your
ears
with
a
black
sea
that
came
in
and
broke
on
cliffs
that
weren
t
there
.

There
was
a
smell
of
rain
.
Mother
was
ironing
and
sprinkling
water
from
a
corked
ketchup
bottle
over
the
crackling
dry
clothes
behind
Tom
.

One
store
was
still
open
about
a
block
away
Mrs
.
Singer
s
.
287
Finally
,
just
before
it
was
time
for
Mrs
.
Singer
to
close
her
store
,
Mother
relented
and
told
Tom
,
"
Run
get
a
pint
of
ice
cream
and
be
sure
she
packs
it
tight
.

He
asked
if
he
could
get
a
scoop
of
chocolate
on
top
,
because
he
didn
t
like
vanilla
,
and
Mother
agreed
.
He
clutched
the
money
and
ran
barefooted
over
the
warm
evening
cement
sidewalk
,
under
the
apple
and
oak
trees
,
toward
the
store
.
The
town
was
so
quiet
and
far
off
you
could
hear
only
the
crickets
sounding
in
the
spaces
beyond
the
hot
indigo
trees
that
hold
back
the
stars
.
289
His
bare
feet
slapped
the
pavement
.
He
crossed
the
street
and
found
Mrs
.
Singer
moving
ponderously
about
her
store
,
singing
Yiddish
melodies
.
