They told her to count her blessings, said
it would help her put things in perspective.
So she counted 1. I am alive. 2. I am well.
3. I don't have a horribly disfiguring disease.
4. I don't suffer from bladder weakness. 5. I have
somewhere to live. 6. I rarely have to bleach my
facial hair. 7. There's some quite good TV on
at the moment. 8. I'll be dead before the planet
dies.
Strangely, when she proudly showed them
the list she had compiled, their faces
snapped sideways and their mouths pulled
at the edges of their skin like drawstrings.
