The mountains in Tennessee look almost tropical this morning, missed over forest canopy,

lakes with low bridges. I don't know what I pictured when I pictured this place, but it wasn't this.

I guess I didn't picture it. Never bothered too.

We come into Nashville. Each city skyline has that one building. The one that lets you know which

city you're looking at, because otherwise every skyscraper is every skyscraper. In New York,

there's the Empire State. In Los Angeles, there's that round one. I don't know what it's called.

I don't think anyone does. It's, you know, the round one. And in Nashville, there's the Batman building.

That's not what it's called. I'm sure there's some architectural reason for its design,

but what it looks like is that it's a building shaped like Batman's head.

A soft tap on the cab door while we slept and I was already awake and tensed.

A lot of training and even more justifiable worry had gone into my years fighting these creatures,

and the slightest sound could mean anything at all. So that's what I had to be ready for.

Keisha came awake too in response to my getting up. I put my finger to my lips, crept to the door.

And flung it open. The kid screamed. It was a teenage girl. My brain was putting together the pieces

and was about to deliver the words, oh, you must be when Keisha screamed too and threw herself past me.

Sylvia, Sylvia, you're safe. Oh, you must be Sylvia, I said. The girl nodded into Keisha's shoulder.

Alice is in dead by Joseph Fink, performed by Jessica Nicole and Erica Livingston, produced by

Dispiration, part three, chapter eight, to forgive. The meetings of what we now called praxis continued.

We met once every three months. This was not going to be a fast process. Oh, we had aged.

Oh, yes, almost a year and a half of this already. The battle was never going to be fast.
