“All that Hell shit,” she said, unzipping my hoodie and handing it back, “isn’t afterlife panic. It’s excuses to abuse people now, like addicts and victims need more bad shit. Let’s create middle-school self-haters! Then call them sluts who’ll get boys damned! Because we’re the only way outta Hell, everyone better agree with us on everything. Hell is a world without God? Hell is a Christian president bombing Iraqi babies!”

“During hugs, Miss Esther said, “Gumdrop, once I’m gone, keep leadin’ my babies out here.” I agreed, queasily. She understands the parking deck’s gonna replace her house, right? “Acts 3:21,” she said. “We ain’t finished ‘til that’s his will.”
