Wrong Paul

Bill’s nurse was talking about the book she’s reading, “The Company She Keeps”, when we stopped up to visit him. The book is written by Georgia Durante a former Kodak model and mafia wife. She lives in North Hollywood now but she grew up in East Rochester, the same town as Bill’s nurse and spills the beans on the mob bosses that ruled this town in sixties and early seventies.

As we moved closer to look at the pictures in her book we noticed someone had turned the drawing I gave Bill last week so that it was facing out the window. At first I thought that was kind of cool, maybe someone looking in would get a kick out of it, but the nurse offered that Bill’s son, Paul, had done the drawing from some criminal in the newspaper. “It’s nicely drawn and everything. I mean you can see the evil in the guys’ eyes. But why someone would bring something like that up here?”
