“Neglect”
by
Joy Williams
from 99 Stories of God
The Lord was asked if He believed in reincarnation.

What does it explain, Sir? someone asked.
On your last Fourth of July festivities, I was invited to observe an annual hot-dog-eating contest, the Lord said, and it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever witnessed.
