\u201cMagdalena\u201d<\/p>\n

He says every soul is like a tiny shard of glass that reflects God. He says when you\u2019re dead, you\u2019re just a soul, and the reflection is even stronger, not muddled by all that flesh and blood and living people shit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cRed Feather & Bone\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Passing\u201d I really like this story. Plus, this bit cracks me up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must have wonderful joyrides on this thing with your boyfriend,\u201d I say once I catch my breath. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh. I\u2019m not gay.\u201d <\/p>\n

For a few moments all we hear is the wind whipping alongside us, the occasional horns of midday traffic. \u201cOh.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my girlfriend Diana I was um talking to on the phone earlier.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOf course.\u201d <\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s better if I don\u2019t speak.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhat \u2019bout my giants?\u201d Krys asks. <\/p>\n

Jimmy makes a helpless face at us. \u201cI mean\u2026giants pop up all over history, guys. You don\u2019t even want to know some of the sites that were showing up in this search, trust me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cLove is a Fucking River\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cForgive Me My Tangents\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m more than a century old but in my heart of hearts, I\u2019m still that little girl skipping back and forth through the trees behind our little house on the edge of the cloud forest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
