  • Home As Harold Slowly Walked Home, an Old Memory Floated By
    Chapter Seven: Home As Harold slowly walked home, an old memory floated by: he wished he had some pot. He wondered if it would still bring him the gentle cheer he remembered from his college days. But there was surely no pot waiting for him at home. Instead there was but mess, noise, and, if he was too weak to resist it, ibuprofen. It was getting colder, the wind was picking up. Mike had been right: a front was moving in, and real winter, Iowa winter, was on its way. Harold tightened the collar of his coat against his neck and walked directly into the wind, which was blowing stiffly from the northwest. The struggle of moving forward was distracting enough for him to forget the ache of his knee. When he got home, Jenny and Caroline had not yet arrived from school. The house was quiet and so even if it felt welcome, it was also slightly eerie. Harold put his pack down in the hall, hung his coat in the closet, walked up the stairs to his bathroom, and quickly opened the medicine cabinet. He grabbed three 200 mg tablets of ibuprofen, but just before taking them paused to stare at the round pills in his hand. He wondered what color they were: clay red? Or was it ocher? He realized he didn’t know what ocher was, and this dismayed him. The three pills seemed innocuous, but to Harold they represented failure, and so he put them back in the bottle. When he came back down to the living room, he put the Al Green tape into the machine, and flopped on the black leather couch in the living room, with his legs up on its soft arms, to wait for his girls.
