Wolfie across the Room
Winnie isn’t eating well, so either Rosa or Priscilla must stay with her at the Sunshine Club through lunch to see she eats. On days that Rosa is there, she sometimes sees Wolfie across the room. He has a little keyboard now attached to his wheelchair. Rebecca can read what he writes on the screen above. Mostly it is simple requests already spelled out on one key: like “bathroom,” or “drink of water,” that he can punch in, Rebecca says. There are also single letters like on a typewriter, and maybe with practice he can learn to write his own sentences, Priscilla says when Rosa questions her. She thinks one of his sons got it for him.
Rosa speculates on this. Could it happen that Wolfie could write to someone about what the Fahey woman does when she is alone wit
