    Summary

    They send Clay home from the hospital on so many painkillers that he’s pretty sure he spends the ride to the apartment on a different plane of reality, one where time moves simultaneously too fast and too slow, like long, drawn-out moments that flicker in and out, separated by eyeblinks that feel more like short naps. His dad typically drives like an asshole, but right now he’s coasting just under the speed limit, making careful turns and slow stops like he’s got a baby in the backseat.

    He’s got Clay in the backseat. Does that count? Clay was a baby, once. He was his dad’s baby. And his mom’s baby. But now he’s an adult, and he doesn’t have a mom anymore, and—Clay blinks. What was he just talking about?

    OR: The knife plunged into Clay Terran's chest misses his heart. Sometimes he worries it was meant to strike true.
