AN AMBULANCE MAKES A BIG NOISE

I like to imagine the grass is super tall when I lie down in it, so tall no one can see me. The neighbors had all gone back inside. It was strange to see them all in their yards and at their doors looking at our house, but I guess I’d look too and want to know. The ambulance didn’t use their siren when they left. That’s because it wasn’t an emergency anymore, Daddy said. He was away when it all happened.
