Sparagmos (σπαραγμός) Khai (開)
(The Tearing Open)
Marshall Oriente has been frozen at five years old for twenty years. His mother gave up her body to keep him frozen. She was supposed to get it back in six months. Meanwhile his hair kept growing. His body didn't. Now it hangs behind him, a coat of many textures he never asked to wear.
When October collapses, everything tears. The mothers rupture from pods buried in caverns beneath St. Louis. The fathers pass through Marshall's throat. The violence is collective, ecstatic, sacrificial. Dystopian thriller meets Dionysian catharsis.When Marshall finally speaks, seven words crack it open. What comes out has been waiting beneath the building the whole time.
Some families break. Some break open.1 different editions
