all the loose ends

she bought her son enough clothes
to keep him tied over for a while,
made sure everything was in its place;

when she knew they would be out of

home and find her in the garage. the son
missed a few days of school, and all

his teacher could think was that
his mother bought her son some extra
clothes; tied up all the loose ends.
