Thanksgiving, 2018Runner-Up in Holiday Hijinks Challenge
It begins at the dining room table, around a board game or—most likely—Phase 10. After the turkey is put away. After the bittersweet cranberries are covered with plastic wrap. After the dogs lie fat and sedated on the couch. After crisp TV sounds trickle in from the living room. After Catholic prayers and the wordless gratitude that emerges quickly between bites of food. After cherry pie and cool whip, the illusion of normalcy, that fragile semblance of solidity, begins to erode.
