내가 데려다줄게

A garbled scandal over a student drives a man to write that his death will stand in for the truth and to wade into a marsh. He is saved by the family who scrape a living from the wetland, a girl with the women who raised her, as unreal as the mist around them. In this place half dream, half waking, the truth he meant to prove and everything he wanted lose their weight, and he notes how snakes seek out the marsh to slough their skins. A tower said to sing, built to complete a love, stands over the story. It first appeared under the title 'Teum' (Crack).
