    About this ebook

    The rain was black. Glistening asphalt like an engagement ring. Moon shattered in the puddles of shame, shards in the faces of pools. Motor oil slicks, cheap impressionistic cringes. Two dancers , Everest and Edna McGuire. The gentleman wore white. His lover wore red, glided across the parking lot. Glenn Miller was playing over the intercom that blasted out into the cafeteria after the events in Sandy Hook. Everest looked up to the heaven. Listen to those horns swing, he thought, without noticing that the sky was empty.
