Download As If We Were Prey PDF Book by Michael Delp
Inside this Book – My parents have called over there a hundred times, I bet, and every time I hear Hannenberg’s mother’s voice apologizing through the earpiece, my dad shaking his head as he hangs up the phone. Last week Hannenberg threw a rock the size of a football into my side. I was out raking leaves, and before I knew it, he was on the attack, charging across the street toward me carrying the rock like he was carrying a bomb and then, Wham! I was out cold. All I could see when I came to were the bare branches of the oak tree in our front yard spread out above me. When I propped myself up to look around, Hannenberg was gone. Tonight, almost dark, I’m watching him. I can see better if I stand up on a chair in the corner of my room and turn off the light. There’s a poster of Hitler on his wall flanked by a Nazi flag, and a black swastika made out of shiny electrical tape, about three feet high. Nobody else but Eherneman knows what he’s got up there. Not even my dad. I can’t tell him about the Nazi stuff. He’d go berserk, call the cops and have the Chief, Hugh Corey, come over in a cruiser just to “dust him off,” as my dad would say.
