Section 1

The Myth of Intention

five days before her thirtieth birthday celebration, on August 24, 1986, Toni

Gustus was out on her porch. It was a Sunday, around four o’clock in

the evening and Gustus was in a T-shirt chipping away at certain plants.

She had quite recently moved to Massachusetts from Iowa; the main contact she

had around was the individual who had recruited her for work at the United

Path in Framingham. She had discovered a little two-room storm cellar

loft with a parlor that opened onto a depressed pooch. When

she remained on the porch, the road came up to her chest.

A man walked around and requested bearings. His eyes appeared to be lustrous and

his discourse was slurred. Gustus didn’t have the foggiest idea of how to coordinate the man, yet

her Midwestern childhood shielded her from offering a terse response and

dismissing. She disclosed to him she was new around and uncertain of the neighborhood

geology. She pointed him toward a path she thought may be useful.

The man didn’t dismiss. He stepped toward the porch and

inquired as to whether an alternate road could take him to a similar spot. She let him know

what she knew, however, she was beginning to feel awkward. It was as though

they were out of nowhere having a discussion. The man-made another move to

the edge of the yard. Gustus advised the man she needed to head inside. She

turned, and he hopped down onto the yard. He got her arm. She

raised her voice quickly and advised him to leave. He requested a glass

of water. Gustus could smell liquor on his breath. She dissented, and he

began to push her to go into the condo.
