    I was glad there was another me. I had a better chance of surviving childhood. The other me inside my head shared the fear and anxiety and kept me in check. Without the soft voice constantly reminding me of who of us would be dead, I am sure I could have become a natural-born killer. When other girls’ thoughts were of new dresses and summer sandals, I thought about murder and already had a list. Daddy and the blue devils were at the top of it.

    I can’t tell you what I look like. I look in the mirror and seenothing but space. Space reflecting space, that’s what themirror shows. It figures because Grandmamma said I wasnothing but dirt. Dirt under her feet she’d say. Dirt she neededto keep kicking out of the way. Grandmamma said I wasn’tsweeping-up kind of dirt; I was the kind of dirt you needed tokick and scrape off the bottom of your shoes.
