WHY THE NILE FLOWS NORTH
As Zoe walked to Vince's place, crows fell from the sullen sky. Car alarms shrieked as she passed. Sprinklers flooded office buildings all over town. The ashes from her cigarette fell in heaps, burning ancient love letters into the street. Smashed mannequins crawled from trash heaps to watch Zoe's back. Missing heads, legs, or arms, torsos crushed or simply out of fashion, the silent dummies trailed behind her with the dangerous strength of those who had nothing to lose. Alley cats gave birth to snubnose revolvers. Police cars stalled in intersections, their engines overheating.
When Vince came to his door, Zoe didn't speak. She reached into his chest and pulled out his heart, shoving a halogen headlight into the hole. "So other women can see you coming," she said. Manhole covers blew. A black rain fell for three days and three nights.
