A child’s toy spaceship lies abandoned in a rain-soaked garden, autumn dusk.  
A man returns from three years in the sky, his skin too smooth, his eyes too still, disrupting a household stitched together in his absence.  
This is body horror as family therapy, circa 1982, best viewed with the lights still on.
