It was 50 years ago, but John Coon still sometimes wakes, howling and scared, as the memories rise up. He and the other bedwetters being paraded through the orphanage dining room, stinking sheets held aloft.
Stealing stale bread from the bakery truck and softening it in water to eat. He was always hungry. And the darkest flashback. The man in charge of the dormitory, who beckoned John into his bedroom.
