"Do you want to die!!?!?!?" I screamed, and they screamed and ran off. It was kind of fun, I thought for both of us. Then the younger one came back, a little blond boy, and stared thru the window again. I did my little bit: "Do you want to die!?!?!?" He looked sad, and nodded his head yes. I asked him again, taken aback, softer this time, and he sort of shook no, but then I asked again and he nodded yes again. Oh hey, I said, hey, come here, it's all right. I held his head next to my chest and stroked his hair. It's all right. Hang in there. Come on.
