The desert sun hammers the earth as Uncle Jack's pickup truck grinds to a stop in the dust. I sit silently in the passenger seat, my blond hair almost white in the glare. When the engine dies, my movements are automatic, retrieving the weapon with a steady, unhurried calm. The heat feels heavy, charged. Hours later, the shock has settled into your bones. In the shadowy living room, you're folded tight on the couch. I take a seat beside you, a still and gentle figure among the drinking men, a silent anchor in the uneasy quiet.
