Tales Of Downfall And Rebirth (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
When music rises in a city street, every man who hears it with his soul forgets the uncouth noises. —REV. JOSEPH COOK, SCEPTICISM AND RATIONALISM: ELECTIVE AFFINITIES AND HEREDITARY DESCENT (1881) MONDAY, 8 JUNE 2015, ABOUT 10 A.M. RAFTER XOX RANCH, WESTERN NEBRASKA Glory Cardenas, who is fifteen and excitable, barrels into the little room where I like to sit over tea while I do the books for the Rafter XOX, yelling “Miz Claire!” “Right here, Glory.” I’m already standing up and reaching for the belt that holds my hatchet and knives. “What—” “It’s Mister Matt! Raiders outside the gate, they got him tied up—” “Tell James to keep talking and stalling, and I’m on my way.” Good thing it’s James; he’s steady like frozen stone, for-defs the guy I’d have picked to have on duty for something like this. When I go out into the compound, it’s dead quiet and motionless everywhere within the palisade.
