For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down (1993)
“It was a long dreary ride, and the bus stopped many times, to let off passengers or to pick up parcels. He was on his way to see his first wife.
After they reached McGivney Station he slumped into a depression.
It was fine to say to yourself you were going to meet someone and ask forgiveness for a cruelty you had done. It was another thing to actually do it.
He went along the old street where they had once lived, near the farmer’s market, and felt himself shivering. All the memories of those yo...uths who had grown up on popular songs of revolution and change, and used it to hurt and bully others until they themselves floundered into middle age and obscure dreams on windswept streets while the lights flickered on at dusk.
For nearly an hour he stood in the parking lot behind the apartment he and his wife had shared. Memories flooded him of her hanging out the clothes, or smiling at him when he came home.
Finally he went to the door and knocked. An old lady answered it, and he stared into the same kitchen he and his wife shared almost twenty years before.MoreLess
