Renewal

It was last night, before I met the Bishop, that I met Gunpoint. Gunpoint and I go back a ways, not as far back as some of our older friends, but more than ten years. We taught literature classes together, introducing a science fiction curriculum which (for its time) was daringly at odds with established practice.

Lots of people watched us as we embraced unabashedly after a long (what's that word her students use so much?) hiatus. Some friendships are the enduring kind; they persist even through long periods of silence and despair. I feel renewed today.
