Lady Oracle (1998)
“That was one of the things I liked about him: he didn’t believe in well enough, he believed in cataclysmic absolutes.
“Where’d you get the dynamite?” he said. We were lying on his mattress; he always kept serious questions till afterwards.
“I asked you not to open that box,” I said.
“Come on, you knew I would. You know I love ugly statues. Where’d you get it?”
“It’s not my dynamite,” I said. “It belongs to some other people.”
“I’ve never seen any of that stuff go off,” he said thoughtfully. “I ...always liked Victoria Day though, that was my favorite holiday. That and Hallowe’en.”
“If you’re thinking of blowing anything up,” I said, “forget it. You’d get me in deep trouble if they found out it was missing.”
“We could replace it,” he said, “with other dynamite.”
“No,” I said. I was remembering the time he’d almost electrocuted us. He’d heard from one of his friends, also a con-create artist, that if you got a string of Christmas tree lights, plugged it in, unscrewed one of the lights, and stuck your finger in the socket at the moment of ejaculation, not only you but your partner would have the greatest orgasm in the world.MoreLess
