Wavestar Bang
He lost her, but not as he thought: not to the cancer, or a car accident, or to some art student.
She was dancing alone to Wavestar in the dark, only the nightlight of the stove touching her naked toes, her knees, her swishing hips. She spun, hair whipping, neck caning, hands flying like children playing through the twilight air of the highway with the windows down, wrists like autumn leaves whose time had come.
She became transparent, translucent, spinning faster and faster, and glitter evaporated from the feet up, a tornado of silver steam.
He fell right through her.
