Through it all, peers the white-cake face of Darling Girl Bones, blanched and blooded. And why not?She's a castaway fourteen-year-old orphan, all alone in the world, sigh Nobody notices Moan Nobody cares Groan Heavy pout, mugging for pity Hey Step-off her uterus She knows where she's going, because she knows where she's been Nobody can tell her anything she hasn't already heard Except... this guy... this older guy... Sure, he wears cheap leisure suits and something resembling clown-shoes, but he makes such sweet promises He tells her only what she wants to hear and nothing that bugs her... until one night... the night of Halloween and her fifteenth birthday......something terrible happens Something wonderful and awful and terrifying and beautiful and TERRIBLE This is Darling Girl's Halloween Carol. Suck it up, freaks, and get a shovel. 'Cause you're going to dig it |
