I’M GOING TO BED, MY father texts on my way home. We’ll talk in the morning.

I’m not sure what to do when I get in. Do I barge into his room and announce it? Hey, that wife who you thought was dead? Well, she just crashed in the desert on this top-secret government spacecraft that probably has extraterrestrial origins. Oh, and she might be a robot.

It’s like my mind just gives up at a certain point. I crawl into bed and sleep.

I WANTED TO GET UP early, but I sleep in. And when I awaken, I pull the covers around me and stay perfectly still for as long as I can. Sunshine pours in thick, right across my bed.

Once, I asked my father what those little specks were, the ones you can see in light rays. He said dust.

And later, I asked my mother. She said they were prayers.

When I reach to touch the light, the specks swirl faster and faster.
