...next minute, in some small town, a clueless 14-year-old will slip white shoes onto her black-stockinged legs, and no one will stop her. No leonine six-footer will swoop down from the sky to grab the pumps from her pudgy little feet and rescue her from fashion disaster. No, the skies are empty today. Because the supermodel is dead...

I went out to dinner and decadently ordered enough courses to make Nero blanch. I lingered in Grendel's downstairs and I didn't care that I woke up warm and peaceful the next day well into my section taking place far away in the Barker Center. I was new and older. The boundaries marking my passage...
