I needed to touch the fence to make sure it wasn't moving. The water made it look like it was moving. That morning I had seen some headlights pull into the parking lot. I didn't know it was her car until I got there. I thought she had moved away.
People do that here.
She had never even come back for the painting. Maybe she forgot. That's when I heard the noise from the fence. When I got up my knees hurt but I still tried to run. I was out of breath, damn fucking body.
