"Atau mungkin seorang janda menemukannya dan membawanya masuk: membawakannya kursi santai, mengganti sweternya setiap pagi, mencukur wajahnya sampai rambutnya berhenti tumbuh, membawanya dengan setia ke tempat tidur bersamanya setiap malam, membisikkan hal-hal manis ke dalam apa yang tersisa dari telinganya, tertawa bersamanya sambil minum kopi hitam, menangis bersamanya atas gambar-gambar yang menguning, berbicara secara hijau tentang memiliki anak sendiri, mulai merindukannya sebelum dia sakit, meninggalkannya segala yang ada dalam kehendaknya, hanya memikirkannya ketika dia meninggal, Dia selalu tahu dia fiksi, tapi tetap percaya padanya."

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.
