California Fire And Life (2012)
“He’s sitting down in front of two monitors hooked to VCRs and running two tapes side by side.
The Vale home movies of Pamela showing off the furniture, and the tape he made of the Vales’ burned and blackened bedroom.
Very weird, watching them simultaneously.
Almost like watching Pamela’s ghost—beautiful, sexy, alive—walk around the ashes of her bedroom. Watch her point out the chairs, the card table, the desk … the bed. Or where they were. Where she was.
Because he burned them and he burned her....
No, he didn’t, Jack thinks.
He sure as hell burned her.
But he wouldn’t burn the furniture.
No more than Olivia Hathaway would dump her spoons.
Nobody burns what they love, Jack thinks.
Not while there’s a chance that they can still have it.
Except me.
I burn what I love and then scatter the ashes.
What was it I said to Letty? Pintale?
Get out.
What was that bird? A mythical bird that rose from the ashes. The phoenix.
Like Letty and me.
Like Pamela on the tape.
Like Nicky’s precious furniture.MoreLess
