Excerpt from The Second Sail
When I crawled under the bed the first time, I decided this was better than
living on the street. I'll show him. Disappearing was an idea I had
played with in my mind for some time. I had to get out, to find a way to
feel unstuck... When I happened to find this big, high canopy bed, I knew I had
to have it. I guess I had already made up my mind to disappear when I was
writing the check to pay for it.... It was an island bed... From the looks of
it, I could see that it gave enough clearance...
I wanted to hear what Herschel was up to... that was the main reason I
wanted to do it. I had to find out, and I couldn't afford a private
detective. Under the bed just seemed natural. I figured if I was
gone long enough, and he was really carrying on with a tootsie, I would find out
a heck of a lot being hid like that, just like Candid Camera! Only you’d
have to call it Snug-as-a-Bug-in-a-Rug, or something like that.... Well, I was
going to make him think, just once, make him think about me. I just
couldn't stand the loneliness any longer, and we were tied together forever by
our love for Toni.
