Nothing of value was destroyed in the mobile home fire that cold day. Though, of course, there were those photographs: Walter Ray standing so sharp and tall in his dress uniform, pressed and razor-sharp creased in all the right places. So damned young and proud like he would stay that way forever, which he did. There was nothing of value destroyed, though she could not get those imprints out of her head, things on aged Kodak paper, of that young military man and of his young bride, Scarlett, whose eyes were then still green-sharp, and possessed of a kind of playful hope, that over-curled hair of hers, back from those days when badly designed wigs were in vogue, when she was blonde, not dishwater washed out and 50-ish gray, and when those breasts in those little sweaters she used to wear were not yet what she thought of now as heavy sagging bags of mere fat, but the jiggly welcoming parts of her that Walter Ray liked and that made her the most popular girl in school with the boys.
