DEATH GETS INTO THE SUBURBS
It sweats into the tongue and groove of redwood decks with a Tahoe view. It slides under the truck where some knuckles
are getting banged up on a stuck nut. It whirls in the egg whites. Among blacks and whites spread evenly. Inside the chicken
factory, the Falcon 7X, and under the bridge.
There’s death by taxi, by blood clot, by slippery rug. Death by oops and...

For its doodle marking what would have been François Truffaut’s 80th birthday today, Google needed an iconic image. Not Catherine Deneuve or Gérard Depardieu in The Last Metro (1980) or Isabelle Adjani in The Story of Adele H. (1975) or even Jeanne Moreau in Jules and Jim (1962), but rather, and most obviously, the young Antoine Doinel on the beach. The doodle’s not exactly the...

THE MYSTERIOUS ARRIVAL OF AN UNUSUAL LETTER
It had been a long day at the office and a long ride back to the small apartment where I lived. When I got there I flicked on the light and saw on the table an envelope with my name on it. Where was the clock? Where was the calendar? The handwriting was my father’s, but he had been dead for forty years. As one might, I began to think that maybe,...

THINGS YOU DON’T FORGET By William Henderson
Where you met and where you went on your first date, and how excited you were in the hours before your first date, and how nervous you were during your first date, and how badly you wanted a second date, even before the first date ended.
Why you decided to save I love you, and how nervous you were that you would not hear I love you in return,...
