Mercy

Don't probe fluorescence or polymer or the crowded aisles of Legget's Department Store after Labor Day. Get out of Colorado. Avoid Mecca and Stonehenge. Mercy is a loner, shy and frugal. Look to the empty stairwell between stories, back alleys, a lonely boiler room or dusty attic. Here it will come, meek as doves, fire on its tongue. Squeeze into a crawl space and keep quiet. Surrender the one mean bone in your body.
