Sufferer's Song
Page 50
He took the napkin from the table and the pen from his pocket and wrote the first thing that came into his mind: My name is Declan Shea and it is all I have left. It wasn’t true, and he knew it but that didn’t alter the fact that he wrote it. He didn’t know what it meant or what it would lead to, but it was a start.
He left his drink untouched and went looking for Kristy. He went to ask for time to start putting the pieces of his life back together. He listened to the preacher on the steps of the Monument. He listened to his message of God and tomorrow. He looked at the bookstore, with its maroon sunshade and photographs of one possible tomorrow.
He looked at the sky.
For the first time Ben could remember there were no bodies in the clouds.
