Ice cream trucks and explosions, and stones on windows. Occasionally
someone will walk by on a cell phone, crying.
It was Faulkner who wrote (in Light in August) that "ingenuity
was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in
crises with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from
truth."

castigation to ensue but instead there was only silence. When
I finally had the nerve to peek back out again, I
could barely make out a naked figure passing down the darkened
hall through the dissipating mist. Holding my breath, I shrunk
back into the couch, now hoping that she would perhaps just go
to bed and allow me to make my get away once she fell asleep..."
