She didn’t know what a whore was, but it had to be a bad little girl like her. Alabama wasn’t going to get to come out of the little room until she shut up. The knob wouldn’t turn anyway it was locked from the outside.Īfter an hour of wailing and crying, Alabama laid down on the floor amongst the shoes, boxes, and musty smelling hats and gloves. Was Mama still there? Alabama tried to reach the doorknob, but her little, two- year-old fingers couldn’t grasp it. She was hungry and it was dark and scary inside the small room.Īlabama stopped and listened against the door and couldn’t hear anything. She didn’t understand why Mama wouldn’t let her out of the closet. “Shut up you stupid whore! I’ll let you out when you shut up and not a second before! You hear me, brat?”Īlabama Ford Smith only cried harder.
