Rudy

Hedges and Sacco begin the chapter, Days of Destruction, with Larry Gibson who explains his childhood living on the mountain.

Death then proclaims that, “He [Rudy] didn’t deserve to die the way he did.” (page 241) Death explains that, “Preemptively, you conclude, as I would, that Rudy died that very same day, of hypothermia.

I cannot imagine who I would be with you, or even who you are at all. I have heard of the Fuhrer taking “Communists,” are you one? I constantly think about your return, but will you ever be back? You left abruptly, for seemingly no reason, but what made you leave, mother? Why am I here; who are these parents that…
