Chapter 10
I WALKED DOWN THE hall in a daze. Dally had taken the car and I started the long walk home
in a
stupor. Johnny was dead. But he wasn't. That still body back in the hospital wasn't Johnny.
Johnny was
somewhere else--- maybe asleep in the lot, or playing the pinball machine in the bowling alley,
or sitting on
the back steps of the church in Windrixville.
