Last Things (25 page)
My mother leaves the bridge and drives toward the river. Lightning splits the sky. Water, water everywhere, she says, and not a drop to drink. We speed along the dark pier. The car makes a clicking sound as it moves across the wooden slats. Then there is nothing beneath us and we fall. The windows fill with water, mud, leaves. The car floats.
