Picture this: a grand fall from grace, a crime scene in what can only be described as “an estate”. A whodunit. A buckshot of bones, three blind pedlars, a codex of appointments. Forensics staged like expression, expression staged as forensics—the latent possibility of the opposite present in each.
His years had been spent in such habitual obedience to the conventions of his class, that by this age, he had become the convention itself. And on the seventh day, he awoke with that same foretaste of loss that had trailed him since last Sunday. He found himself facing his grand mirror when an unfamiliar face appeared over his shoulder. He thought Oh Heavens. Something thawed in his chest. He felt for the first time an absolute present tense then felt nothing at all.
