Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 33 him Tommy. Why they didn‟t just do it the easy way and name him Thomas William Franklin is beyond me. He also “sat like a grown-up”, meaning he‟d cross his legs at the knees. We, (the other idiot kids and I), thought it was “queer” to sit that way. I‟m afraid a few of „em even said that to Tommy. I never did. He was my friend and we played together. The other memorable thing about Tommy: he was my first fight. We were six years old. Our play campaign that day was in an empty lot a block from his house. Maybe an acre of dirt with no house on it yet. We had a fort dug in the ground, about four feet of cave that took us a week to excavate. One day, for reasons that totally escape me, we began arguing. Usually, when kids have arguments, it‟s a lot of mouth. Nothing ever comes of it. Well, one of us said something that pushed the other‟s hot button. I still can‟t recall who. All I knew for sure was I was scared shitless until the fight started. When it got going, I forgot everything but doing whatever I had to do to make sure Tommy didn‟t beat me up. Apparently I wanted to win more than he did, since he got the bloody nose and a black eye. All I got was an ass chewing from Mom after Tommy‟s Mom called her. That brouhaha completely killed our friendship … for about a week … until one of us, (unknown), went to the other‟s house and we started playing again. The funniest part, my fear before the fight and forgetting it when the action started, is the pattern. It‟s been the same way every time I‟ve ever been in any kind of fight since then, and that was forty-nine years ago. I‟m the biggest coward you ever met, until you‟ve made it a “you or me” situation. In that case, your ass is in a lot of trouble, if I have anything to say about it. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 34 CHAPTER FOUR There‟s another secret I‟ve never told anybody. I‟m gonna share it with you, but you have to promise you won‟t tell anyone. I don‟t want this information to get out so everybody knows about it. Mom told me I had a total of eighteen seizures when I was a kid. That‟s what they called „em. Personally, I think they were lying. I don‟t remember any damned seizures. Anyway, if they really did happen, it was supposed to be some kind of electrical malfunction in my brain. Okay, sure. Hey, “malfunction” this, huh? Still, if they really happened, that‟s not what it was. No, it was my “pal”, Georgie. That‟s what happened, I think, as he morphed into the weird, insane creature he eventually became. You probably think it‟s weird of me to badmouth a guy who, as I‟ve told you but you haven‟t yet seen, saved my ass quite a few times. Well, it‟s „cause he‟s a strange duck. That‟s why I say what I do about George. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
