about

9

They went on like this, for days on end. Hours passed strangely, not as the ticking from antique things, but as though each kiss was a precious form of measurement.

In the days before he met his death, he came to understand what fueled his frantic run, his frenetic thrusts, his fervent prayers.

The sun stopped rising. Their hearts beat faster. He had found that elusive something, but it was nothing at all. There could be no understanding between them until she saw that strange, thrumming, incandescent thing; that dark and haunted object he had hoped he’d never have to share with her.

The sun sat high in the afternoon sky. It was always afternoon now, always parched and brittle and wickedly sharp. He dragged her, as if through old honey, through the crashing yard of cars long since abandoned.

His car, the only car still somewhat capable of moving (as long as you pushed it down a very long hill to get things flying), was the scene of that brutal, final moment.

He opened her door, like a gentleman. She sat, lady-like, smoothing her skirt and and biting her lower lip.

She shifted the split, desiccated case into her lap. He pulled at his clothes, shrinking down until he was at the level of her eyes.

He spoke. The first dry halting words he had offered since leaving his home: “Open it. Please.”
