“‘You know why they dump us here? You know why I think the twenty-first century is the prison century?’ ‘Because the Corrective Council abolished the death penalty and couldn’t send any more people to Stalinist Russia without someone noticing?’ ‘I bet they calculated that twenty-first century America was the worst placetime to live with the longest life expectancy.

She pulled back to kick it, changed her mind, stomped on the silver tar paper roof.”
