There are two kinds of people in the universe, the cops and everybody else. Being an asshole was normal. It was human nature. Robert stirred in his sleep and cried out to god. To stop the voices in his head and to send his grandmother and the parole officer back to hell. No one heard his frantic pleas. He called out again. Nobody listened. There was no reply. He begged a third and final time.

His prayers were answered. The knot in Robert’s soul dissolved into nothingness. He was no longer in pain. There were no prison guards. No barbed-wire fences. No parole offices. He groaned, turned onto his left side, adjusted the blankets in the bed, and eased an arm over the cheeks of his wife’s heart-shaped ass. The rest of the night boated away on a dreamless ocean.
