Larry stared at her a moment, breathing deeply. 'What a masterly understatement,' he said at last; 'you are always ready with the apt platitude to sum up a catastrophe. How I envy you your ability to be inarticulate in the face of Fate.'

Happy Fourth, everyone. As an immigrant, I am grateful and love the chances I've had, the people I've met, the food and, maybe most of all, the absolutely gorgeous lands and nature and wildlife here. It's so diverse and glorious that it robs you of your breath. And we get to live here! In a way, we are like this Blue Jay, loud, red white and blue and messy, but also beautiful. We are mostly good people, but I also believe we can be a lot better. Let's do this. Happy birthday, USA ❤️

I didn’t tell him: the ghosts I believe in weren’t trapped in the Spains’ bloodstains. They thronged the whole estate, whirling like great moths in and out of the empty doorways and over the expanses of cracked earth, battering against the sparse lighted windows, mouths stretched wide in silent howls: all the people who should have lived here. The young men who had dreamed of carrying their wives over these thresholds, the babies who should have been brought home from the hospital to soft nurseries in these rooms, the teenagers who should have had their first kisses leaning against lampposts that would never be lit. Over time, the ghosts of things that happened start to turn distant; once they’ve cut you a couple of million times, their edges blunt on your scar tissue, they wear thin. The ones that slice like razors forever are the ghosts of things that never got the chance to happen.

Being easily freaked out comes with its own special skill set: you develop subtle tricks to work around it, make sure people don’t notice. Pretty soon, if you’re a fast learner, you can get through the day looking almost exactly like a normal human being.
