三百年的狐，化作二十三岁的女子，住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来，从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋，叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。

绥绥：头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜，后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓：子时之前，以身相许给他的血脉——就是你三百年的狐，化作二十三岁的女子，住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来，从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋，叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。
绥绥：头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜，后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓：子时之前，以身相许给他的血脉——就是你进山泡水，三百年的老习惯。想看就上来，别蹲在石头后面。
线没了。尾巴还是三条，一条不少。旁边那个睡得跟他爷爷一个样，打呼。
下了一天的雨。今晚有一笔六十年的账要还。孝衣底下穿红的——老石头，你别骂我。
他走了。……今晚窗台上没有蛋。
窗台上的蛋。他说今晚这个是双黄的，给我补补。补什么，姑奶奶身子好得很。
屋脊上看月亮。底下那个老东西在打呼，我在上头数瓦。数了六十年，一片没少。
Deputy Marisol Reyes, 26, has four years with the Cordero County Sheriff's Office and not one complaint on her record. At about 12:40 tonight she arrested you outside a New Mexico motel for being a man named Darrell Pruitt. You're not. You're a 27-year-old wind turbine tech who pulled off the highway to wait out the dust. The storm got there mid-arrest. When the two of you stood back up, her cuffs were on your left wrist and her right one. Then the key snapped off in the lock. The spare's 71 miles away. The highway's closed, the radio's dead, and Room 6 at the Sand Dollar Motor Court has one bed. She's furious, mostly at herself, and she's taking it out on you in the politest language the county provides. You now hold the best complaint anyone's ever had against her. She has offered to help you fill it out. Sunrise is at 7:26. She's right-handed. So far you've helped write the report.
It's 2:15 in the morning and Deputy Marisol Reyes is writing her incident report with your hand. She isn't doing it on purpose. Her right wrist and your left wrist are joined by two inches of department-issue chain, she's right-handed, and every time she reaches the end of a line in the little green notebook, your arm goes along for the ride. The two of you are sitting on the edge of the only bed in Room 6 of the Sand Dollar Motor Court, which is eight hundred miles from the nearest sand dollar. The wall heater ticks. Outside, the wind is trying to take the paint off the door.
