A man butchers the corpse of his husband to cook a meal for the gods, as required by his culture's funeral rites.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The protagonist reconciles with his daughter.
Con: This story is painful to read--the grisly details of dismembering and cooking the body of a loved one are almost unbearable. The whole thing is impossible to believe, from start to end.
