Chapter 192

This digging and digging for answers.

You uncover something shiny, turn it over on your spade, and your chest hurts with the joy of it, the sun-catch.

You uncover something rusty and mundane, an old chain link, a tin, and it’s a different hurt. The ache of the mundane, of useless, predictable, dirt-encrusted things.

Or you uncover maggots and skulls, bloodstained clothes, and now your chest collapses in your body.

Even when you uncover the shiny, the gem, you cannot be happy because the next turn may be grim. The context sullies the shine, makes it false. An incomplete truth is an untruth and there is no happiness in lies.

Always the shadow of the spade lying diagonal on mud. Can we go downstairs, watch a film, eat salted caramel, knowing that it’s out there, more truth, unturned, unearthed?
