Excerpts

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
After the argument that I had lost but pretended to win, I stormed out of the HUD house, jumped into the car, and prepared to drive off in victory, which was also known as defeat. But I realized that I hadn't grabbed my keys. At that kind of moment, a person begins to realize how he can be fooled by his own games. And at that kind of moment, a person begins to formulate a new game to compensate for the failure of the first.
“Honey, I'm home,” I yelled as I walked back into the house.
Sherman Alexie, 1993
