"By his things will you know him," a shortstory
My father kept things. I mean, he didnt like to throw things away. Nothing. I looked into his eyes as I said these words. Id said them before, to explain my spotless desk, my habit of opening the mail over a garbage can and throwing anything not urgent directly into the recycling pile, my weekly stop at the thrift-store donation box with all the things Id tossed into a shopping bag on the back of the bedroom door. Most people nodded like they understood. A smaller number winced a little, indicating that they had an idea of what I was talking about.A tiny minority did what Purnell did next: looked back into my eyes for a moment, then said, Im sorry.
