Looking for something special for your stocking? How about Twisted
A crimson glow is coming from
below, as if an enormous sun is buried here, deep under the coals upon
which I am crouching. If not for the eery glow, this is the valley
cradling my village.
A perfect copy of the land of Uz.
If I squint hard, aiming my gaze
faraway to the foot of that volcano, I think I can spot the familiar
outlines of houses. They belong to the rich among us. Between them I
look for an interval. There must lie the village square. And I know,
without really seeing it, that falling to pieces on the other side—where
the poor folk live—is our shack. The place where we lived, Job and I,
in such misery during the last year.
Imagining it, even for a second, frays my nerves.
