when we reach a broad , empty clearing , he puts the truck in park and finally looks at me . cora was not taking part in the conversation , but then she spoke . i forced my brother to take me to the er . there is n't a whole hell of a lot i do n't understand . i tried to hide behind him , but he kept walking farther in . she lay there , gliding in and out of consciousness , always returning to the question-where are you ?
