“That eye, boy . . . it tells a story.”
“It’s staring up at me from the bottom of the glass. Through the water. I look up at him, at the empty socket the eye occupies every day. Like part of the right hand side of his head has been scooped out. t doesn’t scare me. I’ve never known him any different.”
