PEOPLE & BIRDS

TINY is here.

IZZY, Tiny’s sister and oldest friend, lives next door.

HANK is Tiny’s boyfriend, and

KELLEY is Tiny’s brother.

BEAR is Tiny and Kelley’s dad.

TINY’S MOTHER studies hearts.

AUNT CHARLOTTE is Tiny’s mother’s friend.

She is also a painter.

MERYL is Kelley’s girlfriend.

THUY, MARNIE & SHAWN organize UP IN ARMS, a

dance party.

Also, lots of CROWS: American, hooded, carrion, with

purple-black feathers.

PLACE

By the water, in a city full of moss and blown-out pearly light.

REMEMBER

Some of these people are dead, and some are alive. Some are in-between. Sometimes, it changes. Tiny hears her mother’s voice frequently, especially in early mornings and otherwise-empty rooms. Sometimes, coming out of hazy pain, Tiny can point at the voice or it halos her.
