Passage of the Day

"After a while Manny started up again, talking to himself, plotting, saying, 'What we gotta do is, we gotta figure out a way to reverse gravity, so that we fall upward, through the clouds and sky, all the way to heaven,' and as he said the words, the picture formed in my mind: my brothers and me, flailing our arms, rising, the world telescoping away, falling up past the stars, through space and blackness, floating upward, until we were safe as seed wrapped up in the fist of God."
