On The Overgrown Path

Well what the heck are you starin' at?

It ain't my fault that my crazy mother Nettie decided to take off yet again and drag our sorry asses to that goddamn stupid hometown of hers. And it sure as hell ain't my fault that some stupid kid went missin'. Heck, if you must askâ€"instead of mindin' your own goddamn business like polite people shouldâ€"I was only tryin' to be helpful when I told the police I knew where the missing boy was. It weren't exactly a lie, I was just tryin' to get people to like me.

How was I to know the whole town would believe me?

It weren't my fault things happened the way they did. And it sure as hell weren't my fault one thing led to another, like a string of goddamn firecrackersâ€"Pop! Pop! Pop!â€"till someone ended up dead. And like I said, it ain't none of your business anyways. You wanna know more, then find out your-damn-self!
