Running from the wild hobo, he knew he should never have skipped school; knew it the same way that he knew that kicking his boot out over the ice was a bad idea, and knew it just like he’d find out later when he finally made it home that he should take his time when it came to thinking up believable lies - too late.
’hobo’? Shouldn’t that be ‘raccoon’?
Run from hobos, backpedal from raccoons - my responses to fear have been finely tuned over the years.
