- I ram a button to summon the service elevator out of places to go so I'm following Yasmeen I want to track her down to ask her to help me again the metal doors slide open shut once I'm inside shes not there

- in the silver quiet I feel the exhaustion soak my body I feel homesick for the confines of the apartment safe from this enormous world its horrors I want to go home ii want to find my way home the elevator has not moved I want to go home I push the buttons to open the doors deciding instead to find the stairs the doors part in a surge of warm air outside the airport is gone

- in its place is the photograph of my parents life-sized real with smells dry expansive heat everything still frozen in its place my mother laughing dancing in love my father his hands were mere moments from her waist so close I can see the sweat beading his brow the mosquito a second from his neck my fathers dark hair lush dense coiled flimsy cotton of his shirt soaked in sweat little gap in front of his teeth the look In his eyes dazed with good luck Yasmeen steps into the frame she looks fully human solid actually walking instead of her usual super natural glide from this close we're not so different she looks like me dressed in a costume with better grooming and posture but still me extends her and and says are you coming? when I take it her hand is solid warm a real pluse full of real blood
- are you coming?
