Bright Shards Of Someplace Else (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
They walked him down the halls of the police station with the absurd gravity he had expected, but he had not been ready for how intense and real it seemed. My god! The more powerful man—that guy the rookie cop called Sergeant Ron—walked next to him with magisterial bearing, a rolling of the foot in leather boots that was positively, quintessentially, justice performance art. All the details were tuned just so—from the dull green walls to the bored receptionists with the tattooed eyebrows. The halls rang with all their shoes. When they flicked the light on in the interrogation room, the two cops split up, as if the long, white table had cleaved them. The accused sat at the head of the table with a cop on each side, and he had the funny thought that he should say grace, give thanks for this sparkling situation on which he could already feel himself feed. He put his elbows on the table, awaiting their questions. The alleged victim in this case—raped, bound, left for dead in the brush along the accused’s jogging route—was still open on the autopsy table, ten miles from where the accused now sat.
