Many Important People

Explanations were going to be needed.

This historian was especially drawn to

pity the refugees, but all I felt was anger. A

gigantic, single-celled organism using empty space

was the kind of day made for running away. A good

novel makes it clear that the white woman loves her child,

and the dance ended as it had begun: with a man and and a woman

a proven remedy to halt the bleeding of even those who seemed to

hold onto me. Am I going to die?

A scatter of squat trailers pustuled the desert nearby, but we were

lumps of vegetable matter completely alien to him. Pools of humid

feathers fluttering after the body. The second crow flying

said you was up here now, making a new farm.

It makes the relationships among the characters,

since I own you, since I have the papers on you,

carried out as a ritual: it had been done so

the story had not changed, but the reader

don't care who's pulling the trigger.
