Order of Harpoons :: Digitalia :: Dobre Vecher (5)

Matthew Shindell

. . .

Grandma is tired of talking about the fire.

She tells a story about the flood instead.

She says, "I prayed I had a boat like the one my uncle owned."

Her prayer was not answered.

"I gave up no faith," she says, "In the treetops I prayed for others
to take on water."
