Queenie

We left town early. Uncle Al insulted a fat lady.

Queenie was missing. Walter was in a panic trying to find her. He wouldn't get on the train. I had to grab him and toss him into the car as it was moving. He was crying uncontrollably.

Queenie is all that Walter has. His mom sold him to the circus when he was only 14.

He cried the entire night.

Early this morning, Marlena came to our car with Queenie. She had spotted the dog when the train started moving. She knew Queenie belonged to Walter so she had August pick her up. She knows what it feels like to lose a loved one.
