"[ Boy Narrating ] My brother keeps a human head in his closet." "Every few days it's a new head." "Usually, they are black women." "But one time he had a white man's head in there." "I was going bowling with my friend David one day..." "And I needed to borrow Steve's ball." "He wasn't home, so I took it without asking permission." "That's a big no-no." "When I opened the bag at the bowling alley, I almost cried." "I didn't tell anyone about it, and I used David's ball instead." "I lied and said the one I brought was too heavy for me." "I'm surprised they couldn't smell it." "It's another black woman's head," "And her hair has been ripped out." "I've seen lots of horror movies," "And the heads in those things don't come close to looking like the real thing." "I can't explain what it feels like to hold one of them." "At one point it had thoughts and feelings..." "And it kissed somebody it loved." "Now it's just a bloody head in a bowling ball bag." "I hope I don't end up that way." "If Steve found out I was in his room, he'd probably kill me too." "I worry about him finding out." "What if I put the head back in the bag facing the wrong direction?" "If he's a killer, he probably thinks about things like that," "Because he's crazy." "The first person he would blame would be me." "Big brothers blame little brothers for everything."

"Tonight I get to draw the blood." "Marty!" "What?" "I wish you could get interested in things that weren't so horrible." "You know those movies used to keep you up at night." "I'm not five anymore."

"My teacher freaked out about it," "So Mom had to come to school and talk about it." "I guess some people are afraid that if a kid watches horror movies," "He'll grow up to be a killer or a psycho." "But I'm not a violent person." "I don't even like killing bugs." "I get good grades and I do what people tell me to, so they just shouldn't worry." "Dad tells Mom all boys are interested in horror movies and graphic novels." "He says it's normal, and that I'll grow out of it someday." "But if that's true, then I don't wanna ever grow up." "Not ever." "[ Man ] Marty." "Marty." "Marty!" "Hmm?" "Sorry." "That must have been one heck of a daydream." "What if we went bowling this weekend?" "I have to work this weekend."

"If she kept his letters for so long." "It makes me wonder why she didn't marry him instead of Dad." "Dad keeps his secrets in the garage." "Dad's magazines aren't like Mom's." "Hers are about gardening and keeping your house looking pretty." "Dad's are full of naked women with big boobs." "I wonder if she knows Dad has these magazines." "I'll bet she'd be really mad..."
