“So . . . she died?” I probed.

“The ones who witnessed it say it was more like ‘transcendence.’ Her atoms have likely reassembled in a higher dimension. The fifth or maybe sixth. She’s just pattern now, waiting.”’

‘“Beth said that Hero is a beacon. That they sent it to Earth to ask us to help them. But at the rate it’s travelled, they would have sent it millions of years ago.” It seemed obvious to me now.

...She opened and closed her fist, their old sign for milk.

Kim hesitated and then sighed. “Just tonight,” she whispered.

Chantale smiled and stared with delight down at the caramel half-moon of her mother’s breast as it waxed from under the frayed collar of her pyjama top.’

‘“I’ve been saying for a couple of years that, the rate we’re going, China is gonna take over. So that would be my first guess.”

‘I’d heard that she’d gouged her own eyes out with a tablespoon, that she had vanished for a couple of years and returned the same age, that she had the power to take away pain. By the time I joined Saint Clotilde’s, she’d already amassed a small group of loyal followers ... who would attend her self-proclaimed “healing sessions” and night vigils....’

It was a couple of months before we discovered the extent of his prepping. It began the summer before, with tinned cans and nonperishables, rice, pasta shells and powdered milk, puce tubs of pickled cabbage....”
