A BLANKET WENT: A PARABLE

By Ben Greenman

From forthcoming collection, not yet titled.

A blanket went over everything. Some people believed that it was a signal to sleep, and they slept. Some believed that it was intended to hide them and some protested, while others who held the same belief accepted their fate passively. And then there were the ones who interpreted the blanket as a rug and began to walk across it. They were unaware of those beneath it and when they were told of them they did not care.
