Отрывок из книги

The story of how I got from the FloridaLand Trailer Park just outside of Brooksville, Florida to become a real live Hollywood celebrity began near the end of July, in early 2002. The summer heat was getting to all of us, but it was getting to the ones without air conditioning worst of all. We were without air that whole summer. Billy kept forgetting to call the guy to come and fix it. Or maybe he just never did have the cash. Probably spent it on booze or weed. That afternoon the temperature reached well over ninety-five degree in the shade. It wasn’t just hot; it was fricken hot.

Round about four in the afternoon, I was sitting out back of our trailer, hoping to catch a breeze and waiting for Billy to get home. I hardly ever tried to fix supper before he came home because I never knew what kind of a mood the man would be in. It was best to just wait until he got there to fix him a plate. Of course, he never came home the same time on any one night. Most nights he’d stop at the Foxy Lady Lounge with some of his buddies from the slaughterhouse and have a few. Generally it was more than a few.

“Come inside. The kids already left for school.”

We both went into Sheila’s trailer and I told her the gory details of the happenings leading up to Billy death.
