The TV projects from an insect arm. It has the face of my ex-husband, smiling and void. I like to set small fires and inhale them.

None of this is real, he says, and the path slopes down to a house that is possibly haunted. One always looks in such windows, one cannot not look at the predictable detritus of another's failure, a queer satisfaction, a fairy's dust. But no, not real, none of it. And…
