“Compassion, During and After the Fall Cory Cone THE WOMAN SHUFFLES ACROSS THE COLD CEMENT FLOOR, testing every surface. She chews the exposed pipes, but they burn her lips. She gnaws the corner of the rotten wood table, and it seems it might do, but in the end she earns only splinters for her effort. Her hand probes the drawers of the table, secures a handful of rusty bolts and pours them like candy into her mouth. One bite and she learns that these will not satisfy, so she spits them, along with bits of her teeth, to the floor.”
