Roy watched the ambulance man pump hard against Marty’s still chest. At the hospital, he threw up on the floor. His mother held to his arm and sobbed into her scarf. The doctor walked slowly into the room, holding the tiny girl they had cut from Madge just minutes before her heart quit. The child was blond and blue-eyed, with Roy’s mouth, Madge’s eyes, her brother’s pug nose. Roy turned in horror and ran outside. At the funeral the preacher talked of God’s will, of how we were often not meant to understand the goodness in all of his plan. Roy walked away from his words and began a two month drunk that ended when he was carted off to Butner to the mental hospital, twenty pounds thinner and vomiting blood.
