end times

We pass a battered tour bus full of crinkled and dozing elderly Chinese, casino-bound. There's water between the window panes, somehow, and it's sloshing around like the contents of a jolted fish tank.

"I'm not afraid of becoming a gambler," I announce. "When I'm old I'm going to volunteer at the library."

Ryan's driving. "Do you seriously think there's still going to be libraries?"

The future collapses soundlessly around my head.
