They Play In The Meadow. The Dancing Girl With The Dark Hair And Blue Eyes. The Boy With Blond Curls

“They play in the Meadow. The dancing girl with the dark hair and blue eyes. The boy with blond curls and gray eyes, struggling to keep up with her on his chubby toddler legs.”

A few, um, a few years ago I was at a hardware store and there was this little girl with her dad, and he was in a hurry and she wasn’t keeping up. So he kept yanking on her arm, but really hard, you know? Too hard. I know that feeling. When my dad got that way my brother, Colin, was always there to take the worst of it. For me. And I thought, you know, seeing this little girl, I thought maybe I could do that. For her. But I just kept watching, and they’re about to leave and I-I’ve done nothing. And she slips and it throws him off balance and he hits her. And I wanted so badly to do something, to help her, but… I did what I always do when things get hard: I just panicked and ran.

— Do you… Do you wonder ever if you’re a bad man? — No. I don’t wonder, Marty. World needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door.
