This is the Moth Radio Hour, and I'm Suzanne Rust. In this hour, stories about big reveals. We'll be hearing from a young girl who discovers both her fragility and her strength, a reluctant middle school thespian, and a woman with a rather curious hobby. Sometimes it's good to start things at the ending. In this case, someone else's ending.
Linda King told this story to Slam in New York City, where we partner with public radio station WNYC. Here's Linda, live at the Moth.

Now, I was parked across the street from Mackin's Funeral Home in Island Park.
