"A lightning strike, a cigarette, an errant spark from an electric line, and boom! World on fire. The sky was orange-red and black, black, black. I stood on a picnic table, eyes crying, throat burning, and listened to the fire roar the history of the universe."

I love narrative essays where time and location are palatable, and these take place in some of my favorite places in the world. This is a book of movement.
