    Summary

    A gun dropping into dark waters, ripples sending the mirrored stars dancing across the lake. Finney with his dirtied hands reaching for a bottle of Sprite as a dog barks upstairs, his friend’s lifeless body buried across the street. There is a ceramic mask in the costume trunk that sits in Al’s van, half-finished birdhouses and potted plants waiting for him at work. A scar that runs the length of Albert Shaw’s right forearm, gouged into him by the dangerously sharp end of a pen light shaped like a rocket ship.

    Robin Arellano gave it to him out of a box of Cracker-Jacks and now it has Albert’s blood dried into the plastic.

    -----------------------
    Finney answers truthfully when Albert asks his name. It changes the course of the future.
