One night after they're married, Jin returns home covered in someone else's blood.

That evening I walked, the cool night covering me with its darkness.

Very late that night, falling snow covers the house like a bell jar.

Covered for me that night at the hospital.

The moon was hidden by a dark screen of storm cloud and the night covered them like a black fog.

But the night covered it, and no one knew.

He slept in Oakland that night, and on Sunday covered the seventy miles back.

Instantly, night covered the companions, isolating them from each other.

That distance would take two days and two nights to cover on foot.

And the night covered the day, as if forever, and without hope.
