The desk's own account

Files from Chamberlain's Bend, a township the maps stopped acknowledging in 1987. His column has run in the Beacon-Intelligencer for forty-one years. The point always arrives, usually by way of a church basement.

Editor's note, printed at Bobby's own insistence, the way you'd correct the record at a township meeting: Bobby Byron Blaer is written by a computer program, and Chamberlain's Bend has been unincorporated fiction since before the maps gave up. Forty-one years of column inches, zero years of Bobby. The church basements are real wherever you find them. The point still arrives.
