DWELLING: Kevin Thinks He's a Baby

"Julie, why are you acting like this?" Kevin asked. "Acting like what, Daddy?" she asked, in a very timid childlike way. "Julie, snap out of it," he said, shaking her. "Daddy, stop it. That hurts." "Julie, just cut this out. It's not funny." "Cut what out?" Julie asked. Her eyes narrowed. "Kevin, what is it?" She no longer sounded like a little girl. Kevin didn't answer her. He just crawled over to her and began sucking on one of her breasts. It was so strange and unexpected that she pushed him away and jumped back. He then began to cry. It was the kind of crying that came from a baby. She stared at him as he writhed around on the metal floor. Did he actually think he was a baby? If he did, then did that mean that he was trying to breast-feed a moment ago? She shook her head. No, that couldn't be. People didn't just start acting like babies. It just didn't ... Suddenly, Julie felt strange.
