Rooting for the Apocalypse (7)
Drama ensues when Athena invites her dirtbag boyfriend on her dysfunctional family’s vacation.
We wake to an explosion. I bolt upright. Athena moans and grips the pillow around her head, rolling over. A volley of gunfire follows, and I roll out of bed, dropping hard onto the tile floor. I lie there, panicked, brain struggling to process information unrehearsed by evolution. Voices are yelling. Music plays.
I stand up and creep to the bedroom door. I turn the handle ev...

Rooting for the Apocalypse (6)
Drama ensues when Athena invites her dirtbag boyfriend on her dysfunctional family’s vacation.
When we get back to the compound, the master house is still dark and the patio doors are still locked. We use Sofia as a bridge again and then clear out a shelf for her in the shed. The lights are on in Poppy House. Athena knocks on the door. Steph answers.
Hey, Athena says. How are you doing?
I’m fine, Steph says. He makes me so mad sometimes.
Where did you guys go? Athena as...

Rooting for the Apocalypse (5)
Drama ensues when Athena invites her dirtbag boyfriend on her dysfunctional family’s vacation.
A faded sign from a more optimistic era looms over the highway, welcoming us to paradise. I reach over to squeeze Athena’s hand. She looks away from the window and gives me a wan smile.
Helen, Athena’s mom, occupies the navigator’s chair. Her thin lips are curled in a scowl. She says, I did have the directions written down. They’re right here. But I need my glasses to read t...
