At 6:30 PM on an August night, we meet Arty and Jay, brothers who are at their grandmother's apartment in Yonkers, New York. The year is 1942. They complain about how they are afraid of their grandmother and how it is very hot. Jay, the older brother, talks about their grandmother's cane and limp and remembers that he drew a picture of her when he was young and labeled it "Frankenstein's Grandma." As the boys talk, we learn that the grandmother is a cold woman, and that their mother passed away. The boys talk about the fact that their mother once said that everyone on their father's side of the family has something wrong with them.
