Blessed Are the Meek (2014)
“Donovan walks ahead as if I’m not even there. Everything is surreal. Lights are too bright. Voices too loud. Colors bleed into one another as if I’m dreaming. I can’t shake the image of the dead man in my bed. It’s there glowing when I close my eyes. Finally, I stop and wait for Donovan to notice. He keeps walking for about half a block before he notices. He shakes his head and comes back with a sheepish look.
“Sorry, that smart-ass kid has me really wound up.” He blows out a big puff of a...ir and takes my hand in his.
I hate when he’s angry. It doesn’t happen often, but it makes me extremely uncomfortable around him. But now he’s too calm.
“What about the dead guy?” My voice is incredulous. “The dead body in my bed? Doesn’t that have you wound up?” I don’t even try to keep the sarcasm out of my voice.
Donovan takes a deep breath and looks off into the distance, at the spires of the Bay Bridge rising up on the horizon.MoreLess
