Tanya Grove

Leslie McClintock

A Modern Wedding (with Monsters and Fights and Everything)

The Condom in My Wallet
I carried it for years before I lost (as we knowingly said then) the Big V, like the coin of a country I wondered if I would ever visit. I think it cost a quarter, from one of those gas station or junior high school boys room vending machines— the…
