That Day - On the Run

by Clay Anderson My wife tells me she's cheating on me halfway through dinner. I'm working on the potatoes and beans before replying. "Who?" "That doesn't matter." I think that very much does matter. I imagine a Greek god of a man fucking my wife. I think about how he holds her.

Sixty-eight-year-old Ronnie Wells has recently been paroled for a murder he committed thirty-six years before. He lives in a run-down trailer park outside Pensacola, Florida, and busies himself by maintaining his trailer-it's the nicest in the park-and never being late for work.

A prehistoric human burial was discovered in a deep rock crevice in northwestern Brewster County, Texas, and subsequently dug by relic hunters in 1968. The crevice assemblage, while mixed internally, was kept intact and uncontaminated, and was loaned for study to the Center for Big Bend Studies, Sul Ross State University, in 2005.
