Excerpt:
My right arm fell off today. Lucky for me, I’m left-handed.
In the accident that killed me I rocketed from the back seat straight
through the windshield–no seatbelt, yeah, I know–and the pavement
sheared my arm to nothing below the shoulder. Not torn off, but dangling
by thin, precious little bits of skin and bone and ligament. I had a
closed casket, I’m sure of it, because they never wired the arm or glued
it or any other pretty undertaker trick. I managed to crawl back out of
the ground without its help anyway, and of course after nine perfectly
uneventful years of fighting and dancing and hunting and getting by fine
with the left arm, the right finally shuffles its coil right on the
banks of the Great River County Park’s not-so-Great River, smack in the
middle of a meat run. Joe, my boy, my backup, was not sympathetic in the
least….
