Once a Pudge, Always a Pudge
CHAPTER ONE
Sunday
In my dreams, I swim like an orca. Sleek.
Powerful. Fearless. Then I wake up.
It’s not that I can’t swim. I do okay in a
pool. But toss me into the Pacific Ocean and I
panic. There’s no way to tell what’s swimming
next to you. A dolphin and a shark look alike
until it’s too late to escape. Most people get
that, but my dad? Not so much.
