volume three – all of the things that are in the air

all of the things that are in the air

comment |
all of belhaven is divided into 3 burn barrels    sedgemore    gillis    eden    they all have their designations stenciled at the bottom

one year    in the dark early hours before morning    the smoke jumper initiates at the high school switched them around so when we woke up the next day sedgemores was in gillis and gillises was in eden and edens was in sedgemore    there was anger disorientation and fender benders

deacon calhoun    becoming disoriented when encountering the blue gillis burn barrel where there should have been the yellow one from eden    performed a uturn in the middle of second ave without looking and immediately made contact with the front of ellis pratts brand new tesla bullion coming the other way    despite the maximum speed of each vehicle being not more than 5mph and 23mph the bullion caught fire    it was only with the swift action of peter and paul swane    police cadets at glen allen high school    that ellis did not burn to death

ellis is a salesman for the marketing company   your name here    ellis earns 45 shares a year    ellis is a welsh name meaning    kind    benevolent    he is a christianist a golfist and a one chevron duelist

when they got out of their cars ellis had drawn his colt delta elite 10mm    he did not point it at the deacon but he had it in his hand    i heard that deacon calhoun had previously invited ellis to a golf outing at the belhaven country club but after all of this ellis was disinvited    a serious blow to his career    i would normally not repeat because i am acutely aware of the harm that can come from reckless insinuation but there is plausible speculation ellis pratt could be compelled to see this as a question of honor

Set in a near-dystopian future, all of the things that are in the air is an intricately layered narrative that interweaves themes of memory, loss, resilience, and the small intimacies that define human connection. The story unfolds through the lens of Kevin, a meticulous and introspective man, navigating a world dominated by corporate control, environmental decay, and personal grief.

all of the things that are in the air is a poignant exploration of how individuals navigate the intersections of memory, loss, and the constraints of an oppressive society. Through Kevin’s deeply personal lens, the story captures both the weight of the past and the quiet, persistent hope for something more.

all of the things that are in the air is the third volume in the series a lesser god of the stray he-dogs.
