“You can decide to go, or someone else will decide for you. To paraphrase a poem, our protagonists carry sins like a passport. One busts out his captive car, another walks down to find her Bird. One goes backwards through swords, while children crawl through a coffin to be healed. And a stubborn woman fights a losing battle against becoming something ‘better.’ Whatever the means, you’re sure enough going to go. Now.”
