I'm a boy in my old neighborhood. I'm hanging out with my friend John. Everything seems quite normal except that we're standing in front of Miss Marie's house. Usually we play in his backyard or mine. And there are bullies further down the road, so we wouldn't normally be here without a grown up.
A woman approaches. It is the nasty neighbor. Everyone around here knows she likes to cause trouble. She stands in front of John and me and tells him she knows what really happened when he was born. "Didn't anyone tell you?" she sneers. I'm thinking she's going to say he was switched at birth with some other baby. But she never does say what happened. We wouldn't believe her, anyway.
I stare at her right eye and cheek bone. She almost looks Asian.
