I had a lot of ideas about redemption. Mostly that it was good, something our bodies wanted and moved naturally towards. I was interested in absolutes. I liked the virtues temperance, mercy, and grace. In Scripture, the Prodigal Son is welcomed back into his father’s house even when he doesn’t ask for restoration, nor sufficiently repents for his misconduct. The only precondition for the forgiveness of debt is its existence, and I wanted to be someone who forgave.

….nothing really changed, and she went to college in New York City, where sometimes, in bed and unsleepy, the rest of her life would quickly assemble and disassemble, as if some faraway eye had glimpsed the entire idea of her, by accident, and had not noticed, really, but subconsciously dismissed it, as an optical illusion….

When the bell rings, my students disperse like usual. I imagine them huddled together in the Safeway parking lot, hotboxing the minivan and immersed in discussing the conditions of their new world. They could cultivate a peach orchard together or form a nomadic empire like the Scythians. They could learn to play the lute or resuscitate a dead language. I can’t remember the last time I felt this way, warmed by the radiation of an alternate future.

He said everyone famous was drinking the blood of children. He went on and on like that, for like an hour, about the blood of children and all the people out there who enjoyed drinking it. Then he told us to get out of the ice baths and follow him to the woods. We came to a clearing and found the excavator digging holes, steaming like a dragon. There was a hole for each of us.

Once the plane was aloft, the woman returned with a hot towelette, which she deposited into my hands from a set of steel tongs. Performing cleanliness, I wiped the front and back of both hands and the skin between all my fingers. The woman reclaimed the cold towelette and then laid a gray linen placemat on my tray table. You’ll be joining us for dinner? she asked.
