Chapter 1,476 "Why me? Don't blame me. It was just a game - only tag. I didn't mean to push her down the stairs," wheezed Kevin to his guidance counselor. Kevin's sister was finally home. Not drunk, stoned, or pregnant like the other times. Playing happily, they ran around the upstairs until Kevin's playful shove sent his sister tumbling. In an uncontrollable
rage his mother rushed at Kevin, but tripped over the coffee table and
thwacked her head on the hearth, sending her into an endless sleep.
