The protagonist protests “actually, I’m still a little dizzy” (Tower 119), but eventually acquiesces and follows his stepfather’s direction. Angry for having to listen to his stepfather, Yancy decides to take his fake illness to another level by pretending to be passed out in the driveway where his mother can find him. He believes she will take pity on him and be mad at his stepfather for sending him out to get the mail. Unfortunately, his plan backfires when he is found by a policeman instead of his mother, and must play out his lie of passing out or risk his lie being exposed. The policeman takes the boy to his stepfather to ensure his safety, which forces Yancy to be convincing in playing out his lie to his stepfather in front of the policeman. Feeling like the lies have gone on too long and that he cannot expose the truth now, the boy is convinced he cannot let his stepfather know he is a habitual liar. Yancy tells him he got dizzy and fell, but the suspicious stepfather states “You must have fallen pretty easy, when you faint, you go down hard. You don’t have any cuts” (Tower 126). Yancy does not cave to this pressure exerted by his stepfather, and sticks to his story. Even being young and naive, Yancy is old enough to realize his stepfather does not believe him and begins to fantasize about the stepfather’s demise. He recalls a flyer about a lost leopard that came in the mail and begins imagining and hoping the animal will come from the bushes to attack his stepfather and get rid of him once and for all. The leopard signifies a force that can remove his stepfather, and thus all his problems, from his life leaving only him and his mother
