Quote from this book "Sometimes he thinks the ringing exits in his ears - a lingering symptom. But shrill waves of sound rise above engines idling outside. The noise billows yellowed curtains and cracks the plaster walls of this third-story walk-up. As the ay phone rings on the street corner below, Michael cradles his own phone against his ear and knows he is haunted. The old rotary receiver in his hand is heavy enough to crack a skull. Once, years ago, Michael considered using it for that purpose. A trick from the Bike Stop had gotten too rough-biting Michael's back, drawing blood. Michael lay pressed facedown against the mattress, hands pinned hard against his spine, helpless beneath the weight from above. As the trick rode him harder, Michael fought to free himself. He wanted to grab the phone off the nightstand and clobber the creep. Wanted to smash the son-of-a-bitch's brains, kick him out the door and down the stairs till his sorry ass spilled into the street. But Michael's wrists were locked, he coudn't. Compliance lay imbedded [sic] deep inside him, a wanting to let go that he muffled like a scream. His struggling slackened. As the trick bit flesh, Michael bit his own tongue, pictured his father standing in the room watching with disgust." opening paragaphs, Kelly McQuain's "Blueboy" Secondhand booksellers |
