Thinking of Dallas Winston with his St. Christopher pendant. Dallas who once upon a time had a mom, a dad, maybe a grandparent. Who had a memory of when he first got the medal. How old was he? Was it before or after his first night in jail- either way a kid is still a little kid. Dallas who might’ve been able to remember parts of the story and why the guy mattered at all. Why he still remembered it years later. Dallas who rarely took it off unless cops made him for the night. Dallas who would just say the thing just made him look tough if anyone asked him. Dallas who would absentmindedly hold and yank it at night while staring at bucks ceiling with music and trains and footsteps being too loud.

Thinking of that Ethel Cain line “God loves you but not enough to save you”
