There’s a zillion and one sayings about him and his mother that are probably going to last forever and a day, which is exactly as long as Cupid’s going to be around to get bored of them.

Well, shit.

Two of the guys gone in as many days. Luz, Joe found out about when he went looking for Shari to check something about the homestead, and found her silent and tear-stained.

Over a year it's been since I showed up in this place, fresh from the concentration camp and feelin' a little lost. It was just me n' Luz then, and now there's over a dozen of us, tricklin' in a few at a time, the war still clinging and refusin' to let go.
