Tommy’s Tale
by Erin Bealmear
I was always looking for something
to do. When I was thirteen I spent a year
planning a way for Gilligan to get off
the island. Every time the Skipper
got angry and started to perspire
I thought he was going to hack up Gilligan.
My mother said I was too attached
to the show. “Tommy, you’re like a dog
fucking another dog, you can’t let go.”
