My father is deceased. Gravel gouges my palms, my knees. I crawl across the smoking ground from where I was thrown. I’d say I take his hand, but it’s not—not his anymore, and not really a hand. I take the remains of his hand, bloody and raw. Splintered things grind inside, as if I had clutched a bag of broken glass. His face is— His face isn’t. The hulk of his car smokes beside him. My own hand burns where I touched his skin; the burning echoes all along my shoulders, my spine, in my hair. I had turned, begun walking away— Acid. The fuel cell exploded. That doesn’t happen. Thickly, as if through feet of water, sirens tremble in my ears. . . .
