Trinity Sight
by Jennifer Givhan
Mexican American anthropologist Calliope Santiago, heavily pregnant with twins, is driving home from work when she sees a brilliant flash of light and crashes her car. She and the babies are not hurt, and the car has only minor damage, but Calliope’s sense that something is wrong is ratcheted up. The cars on the road are empty, her cell phone doesn’t work, and neither does the radio.
