Gabriel

1 The basket was on the floor beside him; in its corner, beside Gabriel’s head, the stuffed hippo sat staring with its blank eyes.

2 Gabriel, though, didn’t really like going outside or swimming or anything like that.

3 Even in church during the privacy of Holy Communion, Father Gabriel bent down and whispered “/Viva la Mariposa!”

4 Someone cried: “Oh, bless the Lord!” and tears filled Gabriel’s eyes.

5 All day, while Gabriel and I hoed weeds, I kept thinking about what happened that morning.

6 He turned the corner and Gabriel listened as his footfalls moved away.

7 “I don’t know anything about you except that you have a pretty big flashlight,” Gabriel answered.

8 I want to say they showed up like the angel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary, setting events in motion I could never have guessed.

9 Gabriel was asleep within minutes and the voices in the room next door had nearly gone silent.

10 Mum made us go to Sunday school at Saint Gabriel's when we were smaller but it turned every Sunday morning into torture by boredom.

11 Gabriel would rarely give answers to these questions, usually staring blankly back at his captor or asking politely to be freed.

12 And, after the beating, his pants still down around his knees and his face wet with tears and mucus, Gabriel was made to kneel down while his mother prayed.

13 Snow brushed over the tips of every peak up in the San Gabriels, but down on the track there was only rain and slippery mud.

14 Jordan College was scoured from the dustiest box-room to the darkest cellar, and so were Gabriel and St. Michael’s, till the heads of all the colleges issued a joint protest asserting their ancient rights.

15 He motions to Russell, pointing to his own jaw, but Russell waves his motion away and points up to Gabriel.

16 He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel.

17 “I don’t think it’s right,” said Gabriel, “to talk evil about nobody. The Word tell me it ain’t right to hold nobody up to scorn.”

18 “Gabriel,” my mother said, but he did not answer.

19 Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing barefoot on a damp lawn.

20 Yesterday, when we climbed back out of the ravine, Dane and Gabriel were the last ones out.
