“And it’s true, what they say, about traumatic events almost seeming like they happen in slow motion. The security guard knocked Saul off his feet; Mr. Johnson ran down the hall to his office, and Billie screamed to call 911 though I wasn’t sure why. When I released my hand from my throat, I felt the rush of blood. Some part of me watched its flow down my chest, down my skirt, and finally its splatter across the beige carpet at my feet. The pooling spread to the wall which I believe I fell against but that’s as much as I remember.”
"Carl paces on the edge of his property line like a dog restricted by an invisible fence. The tip of his cigarette glows. I take a last look at the rising moon shimmering against the darkening sky. The moon babbles louder and sharper tonight like the raucous gathering of birds before a bad storm." "I never planned to stay after Daddy died, two days before my seventeenth birthday. Had high hopes to go to college. I still recall nodding when Mama said her boys needed an education more than a girl. They’d have families to support. It’s a notion I’ve twirled like cotton candy in my head these many years while you boys scattered away.” "Sixty is a prickly age for women. We lose our children to work or to spouses; some lose their husbands to younger women or heart attacks. Since I had neither, I felt spared." |
