Scorch Atlas: Damage Claim Questionnaire

Here's the recording. Scorch Atlas: Damage Claim Questionnaire A
story from Scorch Atlas, a 2009 short story collection written by
Blake Butler and published by Featherproof Books. Recorded in a
quiet, mostly empty room. Where were you that evening? My hair was
six feet long. I sat wrapped inside it in the kitchen - a gown of
deceased cells. Outside the kids from next door beat the house and
brayed. Days before, I'd watched their father swan dive from their
roof onto the lawn. Their father, the electrician, with the tumor
on his cheek. Such grace as he held his hands together and aimed
straight for the dirt - he knew already what was coming - he'd
sensed the ruining air.
