Abstract

When Gavin called to complain about the nausea from his latest round of chemotherapy, I was standing on an overturned wooden milk crate, looping a yellow nylon rope over the exposed cast-iron pipe that ran across our ceiling.

Hearing his voice through the speaker, cracked and trembling with practiced exhaustion, tore something open behind my ribs. The tears came fast and hot, blurring the peeling wallpaper of our drafty third-floor walk-up.

I swallowed hard, forcing my vocal cords into something resembling steady. With numb, calloused fingers, I pulled the knot tight into a hangman’s loop.
