Bruiser (2010)
“ “You memorized The Odyssey?”
“So what? Homer did it, and I’m not even blind.”
“The whole thing?”
“Only the parts I’ve read.”
“That’s amazing, Brew.”
“It’s just something I do.”
“Like the healing?”
“It’s not healing; it’s stealing.”
“Excuse me?”
“The pain doesn’t leave; it just jumps to me.”
“How do you explain that?”
“I don’t.”
As the sun hides behind the shearing clouds, the temperature plunges and frustrated mothers race to their children, coats at the ready to battle the schizophrenic da...y, and Brontë ignores the breeze, knowing the sun will strobe on again in a moment; yet if she’s cold she does not care, because she’s begun the inquisition, And I wonder if her need to know is stronger than my need to remain unexposed.
“How did it start?
Do you choose who you heal?
How do you choose?
Who do you choose?
Does anyone know?
How does it work?
Do you have to be touching?
Why won’t you answer?
Aren’t you listening?MoreLess
