The putrid black smoke that singes my nostril hairs and pollutes my lungs. The searing oven-blast heat within the four corners of my bedroom.

In his introduction to this collection, her friend Stephen Emerson writes that if her stories have a “secret ingredient, it is suddenness. Just a page long, and five paragraphs, it is tightly wound and agile, appropriate for a tiny muscular athlete.
