Shadow of My Childhood
Part 5
I darted down the stairs from the 13th floor.
I was out of breath and my legs were trembling.
I collapsed in the shadow of the entrance to the apartment building.
I stared late today because school got out later than usual.
I had to go full speed to post the fliers in all four apartment buildings by the deadline.
If I didn't, my boss would be waiting for me with a long lecture.
I had laboriously coaxed him into hiring a middle school student.
Surely I couldn't let myself get fired at this point.
Mom quit her job at the restaurant last week.
We had to pay for dad's doctor bills, not to mention the overdue electricity and gas.
I kept nodding off in the shade.
There were kids playing basketball in the far distance.
I got up again.
I recited to myself:
"I must do it.
I can do it."
