Here's the recording. Scorch Atlas: Glass A story from Scorch Atlas, a 2009 short story collection written by Blake Butler and published by Featherproof Books. Recorded on location on a windy shore. The glass came first in early morning. I watched through the only safe storm window. The sound of sky come ripping - some sour music box, cranked to crack. The panes shattered on impact, each giving off a second spray. We watched the dead yards, already buried, now held under new refracted light. This is the second reading of this story, the first one can be found here.
