When I got home my dad was on the roof. Feel safe up there, I asked. He shook his head. He was crouching and looking at something.
I put my fist around my mouth like a bullhorn and said please come down from the roof. I repeat, come down from the roof now.
Does anyone else wonder what happened to the traditional dialogue markings. For example: He said, "I'm cleaning out the eavestroughs." Have the rules changed?
Just curious.
BTW the excerpt is taken from "A complicated kindness" by Miriam Toews.
