  But right now I need to come back down to earth. Mr. Enwright doesn’t like it when people slack off. Not that I ever do. I just don’t want to give him a reason to get mad at me. Not when everything is going so well.

  Today is Thursday. That means I have class tonight. I hate riding that bus, but I can’t afford a car right now. Cars are really expensive. You have your monthly payments, your insurance, your gas and repair costs. All that stuff adds up quick. And every penny I spend on a car means one penny less in the bank.

  It doesn’t matter about the bus. I don’t mind. I do dream about a car though. I know just what kind I want. Not a low-rider, like I’m some kind of punk. I want a serious car. I want a black Lexus suv with a leather interior and tinted windows. I want people to look at that car and wonder who owns it. I want them to admire it. And it will have a nice stereo too. The kind you can hear a mile away.

  Charlie D is back doing his late-night radio call-in show. It’s Halloween—The Day of the Dead. His studio guest this evening is Dr. Robin Harris, an arrogant and ambitious “expert in the arts of dying and grieving.” Charlie and Dr. Harris do not hit it off.
