Summary
In some tellings, Cain is described as biting Abel to death. Jason imagines what that first moment felt like, the one in which Cain realized his brother was no longer breathing. Did he stare down at the blood on his hands? Or did he reach for his brother’s face, forgetting himself, staining the side of his mouth with red? Was his first thought to pray to God to save him, before he recalled that God loved Abel more than he loved him? Did he try to shake his brother awake, did he bring his fingers into the open wound? Did he think, Oh, God, what have I done? What have I done?
In which Jason Todd reckons with the Cain complex, the fact of the father, and death, conceptually.
