raze
while
he
was
busy
bowling
and
imagining
a
life
without
an
unwanted
fledgling
that
wasn't
his
own
flesh
and
blood
,
i
was
a
bounty
hunter
blowing
outlaws
away
with
my
sixgun,
half
-hidden
in
the
cramped
arcade
around
the
corner
.
after
the
quarters
he
gave
me
were
gone
,
i
hit
the
coin
return
on
every
console
in
sight
.
twenty
silver
circles
rattled
into
a
chute
that
shouldn't
have
offered
me
anything
.
i
spent
my
ill
-gotten gains
on
a
racing
game
,
not
knowing
this
was
the
closest
i
would
ever
come
to
driving
.
i
harnessed
the
haptic steering
wheel
and
killed
myself
as
many
times
as
i
was
able
,
racing
up
ramps
and
veering
off
-course
so
i
could
see
my
stand
-in explode
from
high
enough
above
the
carnage
to
make_believe
i
was
a
dying
boy
reborn
as
a
bird
of
prey
,
watching
my
own
body
burn
.
