At the Drive-In - Metronome Arthritis
On September 15th, 1963, a bomb exploded at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. The ground floor of the church collapsed. A Sunday school session was in progress and four children were in the church basement preparing for the service. All four girls died – Denise McNair, aged 11, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley and Carol Robertson, all aged 14. Many others were injured. Despite the many racial crimes committed in the South, this one was greeted with abject horror. Arsons followed later that evening when white supremecists torched black businesses.
The arsonist has made several miniscule mistakes, he grows nervous, the crime is eating away at him. The flow has slowed, the metronome has lost its tempo.
