Two or Three Things...

14 July 2020: "Aunt Dot was the one who said it. She said, 'Lord, girl, there's only two or three things I know for sure.' She put her head back, grinned, and made a small impatient noise. Her eyes glittered as bright as sun reflecting off the scales of a cottonmouth's back. She spat once and shrugged. 'Only two or three things. That's right,' she said. 'Of course it's never the same two things, and I'm never as sure as I'd like to be.'" --Dorothy Allison, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure
