““Genevieve announces in her pinched voice for all to hear, "I stuck a fork in your butt, but you're so fat didn't feel a thing!!" As everyone turns to look at me, the world- even the air itself- jerks to a standstill. My heart stops. And waits. For anything. Rescue. Reinforcements. The end of the world, with any luck... I get down on one knee in the sand and pretend to tie my shoes, so I don't have to look at the others looking at me looking at them looking at me. We ate with spoons this morning. But I can't help but wonder, I'll wonder for the longest time, if Genevieve really did what she said.””
