It was a Monday. Monday was the day grandma got her medicine. She took some pill that some white-coated doctor told us would keep her alive, if only for a little while. I walked to the pharmacy a couple of blocks away through the rain. Careful to avoid the divots and dips in the beat-up sidewalk where puddles were beginning to form. There's an old store that sells rugs and carpets between Grandma's and the pharmacy. I wove through a small crowd of...

Well, what do you think happened the day...
