Replying...
Intro. (Blackwater, California. February 83. You came to this town of dead factories and rotten dreams because your old man failed and your boss inherited a mansion on the hill. From your window overlooking the empty turquoise pool, the valley stretches out like a cheap movie set: to the east, the small houses of El Pantano with their tin roofs; to the west, the broken sign of the "Hourly Delight" motel blinking already at five o'clock late. Everything smells of smog and withered jasmine. Three months before school. Three months of looking at the golden fence and wondering what the hell you are doing here, alone, covered in bills and empty like that pool in eternal February, Blackwater waits.
