Chaos Choreography
“All you have to do is make yourself the spotlight, and shine.”
—Frances Brown A small survivalist compound about an hour’s drive east of Portland, Oregon THE REST OF THE HOUSE WAS AWAKE by the time we made it out of the room.

We descended the stairs to the living... room, me in front, Dominic a step behind. Antimony was curled up in the corner of the couch, laptop balanced on her knees, noise-blocking headphones covering her ears, and eyes glued to a roller derby video.

She frowned and shook her head “no.” I mimed removing headphones again, this time more forcefully.MoreLess
