The Film Version William Doreski In the film version I tote five gallons of gasoline to the entry of the institute where our baby died and you remain imprisoned. The sky gloats in pink marbled textures. Anonymous music resounds. Security guards equipped with Tasers stare me down. But they’re behind glass doors, so I pour the gas, splashing it under the door. They step back, paw at their radios. I snap a match and the screen goes blank. The audience groans. The film has ended, the smut of popcorn crunching underfoot. You grip my arm in fear. Can we face the summer evening having spent twenty dollars on tickets when we knew we’d failed to film a proper heroic ending? What if the dispersing audience recognizes us from the screen? The parking lot’s the Black Sea, deep and treacherous. We splash through the shallows to our car. 73
In the air conditioned dark we agree to let the baby go unnamed forever, the film too merciful to show the corpse and your face without thick makeup too blank to show its disgrace. 74 <strong>THAT</strong>
