The Unblemished
“FAST FOOD As if in some awful act of sympathy, the sky had turned out in similar colours to those erupted from the grave of Leonard Wright. Precious little, in a body two weeks dead, contains any vibrant hue; the mush spread around the disinterred corpse bore the monotone consistency of wet newspaper.

He had once brought to a party a sheaf of pictures he had taken at the home of a suicide. The victim had shot off the top of his own head, somehow preserving the face beneath it; the brain was photographed where it had landed, ten feet away on a bookcase, like some unusual grey knick-knack.MoreLess
