Mattie became a character one day when I was at the store. I can’t say that. Mattie was created from several events. But at the store, I met Mattie. I had walked by a mother and daughter. The daughter may have been seven. She stared at me with a devious smile. It was as if she was saying, I know something you don’t. Something bad. I caught myself thinking about what was behind that smile. And did I want to know?
