Dedication
for Lisa, Cole, Emma, and for us
Epigraph
Then back in the ground / We look at our hands / And wonder aloud / Could anyone choose to die / In the end everybody wins
/ In the end everybody wins

—Future of the Left, “The House That Hope Built”
Meanwhile, planes drop from the sky / People disappear and bullets fly . . . Wouldn’t be surprised if they have their way
/ (Tastes just like chicken they say.)

—Clutch, “Animal Farm”
. . . because when the blanket of death came for us we kicked it off and were left naked and shivering in the world.
—Nadia Bulkin, “Seven Minutes in Heaven,” She Said Destroy

Wen
The girl with the dark hair walks down the wooden front stairs and lowers herself into the yellowing lagoon of ankle-high
grass. A warm breeze ripples through the blades, leaves, and crablike petals of clover flowers. She studies the front yard,
watching for the twitchy, mechanical motion and frantic jumps of grasshoppers. The glass jar cradled against her chest smells
faintly of grape jelly and is sticky on the inside. She unscrews the aerated lid.

Wen promised Daddy Andrew she would release the grasshoppers before they got cooked inside the homemade terrarium. The grasshoppers
will be okay because she’ll make sure to keep the jar out of direct sunlight. She worries, though, that they could hurt themselves
by jumping into the sharp edges of the lid’s punched-in holes. She’ll catch smaller grasshoppers, ones that don’t jump as
high or as powerfully, and because of their compact size there will be more leg-stretching room inside the jar. She will talk
to the grasshoppers in a low, soothing voice, and hopefully they will be less likely to panic and mash themselves against
the dangerous metal stalactites. Satisfied with her updated plan, she pulls up a fistful of grass, roots and all, leaving
a pockmark in the front yard’s sea of green and yellow. She carefully deposits and arranges the grass in the jar, then wipes
her hands on her gray Wonder Woman T-shirt.
