Michael Grant Quotes
Lunch Had Been At A McDonald's In Santa Barbara. It Had Been So Clean. It Had Smelled Like Food. It Had Sounded Happy And Alive. In The Bathroom, The Toilet Flushed. Water Ran In The Sink.
He Had Passed A Trash Can On The Way Back To His Table And Stopped Just To Look At It. It Was Full Of Food. Leftover Burgers, The Last Few Fries, Smears Of Ketchup On Cardboard. He'd Had To Hold Back Tears When He Saw It.
"Candy Bar?" Vicky Asked, And Held A Snickers Out To Him.
At That Moment They Slowed To Turn Off The Highway And Head Cautiously, Carefully, Through Recently Bulldozed Streets, Toward The Town Plaza. That's Where The McDonald's Was. His McDonald's.
A Candy Bar. People Had Killed For Less.
