STRANGE KIDS - AN OCCASIONAL SERIES # 3

Kevin was one of the kids who lived in the old neighbourhood. I don't know what school he went to (if at all). He was one of those kids who weren't really part of the after school set but was just always there. Know what I mean?
Kevin smelled funny. He was a gangly kid and lived in the old house at the top of the hill. Probably everyone can remember people who lived in 'the old house at the top of the hill'. The strange ones. As kids we didn't really know much about them except snippets we overheard from our parents -sotto voce  " .... the A's did.....".
Kevin ate dirt and coal.

There are worse things than eating dirt and coal.

Uh oh. It sounds like you are speaking from experience. Hey! Didn't you live in a house at the top of a hill?
