Smoke in the Room (2013)
“After he pulled her off the stair rail, Adam told Katie he wouldn’t let her out of his sight. He was worried, he said, that she would ‘suddenly decide’ to try again. She told him that it wasn’t sudden and it wasn’t a decision. She tried to explain, so that he would ease off, stop hovering, but she couldn’t think of the right words. He stroked her head until she fell asleep and when she woke again the room was bright and he was snoring beside her.
She pulled herself up and went to the bathro...om, then went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer. She lay on the couch and turned on the TV. She watched part of a documentary about animal attacks and wondered why bears never clawed out their own hearts. Why did horses never throw themselves over cliffs?
She watched Oprah, Judge Judy, Dr Phil and Deal or No Deal. When the news came on, she turned the TV off. She couldn’t cope with the shouting of red-faced men in grey suits or the close-ups of blood-stained driveways and sheet-shrouded bodies.MoreLess
