8 viewsThere were gliders tethered there, translucent membrane drawn taut over fragile-looking frames of polycarbon.They quivered slightly in the morning breeze.Robin Lanier was waiting beside them, handsome, easy Robin in a rough black sweater, who played opposite Angie in almost all of her stims.And she was leaving the car now, taking to the field, laughing when her heels sank into the grass.

2 viewsSally.Moments later, driven by a curiosity that pushed aside her shame, she rose from where she lay, brushed her hair, zipped her feet into thin black rubber toe-socks with ridged plastic soles, and went very quietly out into the corridor.When the lift arrived, it stank of cigarette smoke.Red-face was pacing the blue-carpeted foyer when she emerged from the lift, his hands in the pockets of his tight black jacket.

0 viewsThere was light behind her from the house and she could smell the cornbread baking and the coffee he boiled and reboiled there, till a spoon stood up in it, he said, and he'd be in there now reading one of his books, crumbly brown leaves, never a page with a corner on it, he got 'em in frayed plastic baggies and sometimes they just fell to dust in his hands, but if he found something he wanted to keep he'd get a little pocket copier out of the drawer, fit the batteries in it, run it down the page.She liked to watch the copies spool out all fresh, with their special smell that faded away, but he'd never let her work it.Sometimes he'd read out loud, a kind of hesitation in his voice, like a man trying to play an instrument he hasn't picked up in a long time.They weren't stories he read, not like they had endings or told a joke.

"I'm hungry," she said, in Japanese."I'm going to the kitchen." " 'Ere," he said, removing his hands from his pockets and straightening the front of his jacket, "you speak English?" "No," she said, and walked straight past him down the corridor and around the corner." 'Ere," she heard him say, rather more urgently, but she was already groping behind the white bust.
