June’s Faith
The lights flicker on and off. The bed is cold. Everything is dark. "Do you think there is a God?" June asks. June is 55 and schizophrenic. Is she talking to you or to the wall? Maybe she's talking to the invisible man she senses watching over her. Maybe she's talking to the dog that she thinks is there.
