Everything Here Is The Best Thing Ever (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Our air conditioner has stopped working. The brownouts had been ongoing for about a month when one day—zap. Too much starting and stopping, I guess. At least the power’s flowing right now. The TV and the Nintendo, I am thankful, still work. The Nintendo especially is a miracle on account of that it’s so old anyway. The sunlight is indirect—our house has good tree cover—but the temperature is high. Jennie’s naked. She is tall, solid, pretty, and currently not speaking to me—I mean she wouldn’t be if she were awake. We’ve been arguing lately because she says I don’t do anything but play Tetris anymore and I always ask what the fuck else would she like me to do. Sometimes she picks up the Bible and thumbs through it. She doesn’t know this, but I stole that Bible from a motel, one night way back before all the trouble started. Weird lights in the sky and nobody sure what was happening, if it was God or the government responsible, i.e., who to blame or praise. The book is inscrutable to her, though she’s become steadily more convinced it is trying to tell her something.
