Chapter 10
"Ya owe me twenty bucks," said the three hundred pound ball of dusty grimy fat ... she of the three clean spots. "Lessen' you want me to sic my daughter on ya."
"What ma?"
The mother ... bless her heart ... was svelte and slim compared to the 17 year old under Frank ... in the same bed.
"Well, I can't pay you with you laying on my arm," I said ... thinkin, 'I hope my wife never finds out!'
Tubby rolled over ... at least as far as she could, what with Frank and the 17 year old ... Tubby had shit the bed.
The smell ... oh God!
I jumped up and the odor ... and the used alcohol hit me ... my head split wide open and dribbled my brain out both ears ... but I didn't fall down.
"Mom, where's your Depends?" asked the 17 year old. There was a full Depends tangled up in the sheets at the foot of the bed ... my feet had just come from those sheets.
It looked for all the world like a shack and I guess it was but there was a Motel sign I could see through the window.
'Motel ... bathroom ... bathroom ... shitter ... shitter ... fuck... ' in between each separate thought, my life passed before my eyes and even as bad as I hurt I saw the john door ... instinct and muscle memory moved my feet ... they were slippery ... I made it.
Everything I'd had to eat for a week was smiling at me and then the dry heaves hit while I was sitting.
'What IS that awful smell?!?' I was still gagging when I realized it was me. The realization didn't help one little bit.
I threw back the shower curtain and the three little girls squealed, "MOM!"
The 17 year old shouted, "What?"
"There's a naked white man in our room!"
"He probably wants a shower."
