Exfeed 227 2021 -
The Exfeed offered a scene: a child on a narrow promenade watching tide barges dock at dawn. The child wore a raincoat too large for him and had adapted an old commuter mask into a puppet. The child's name was not given, but he carried a pebble the color of brass, warm from his pocket. He traded the pebble for a ticket at the gate and asked the ticket clerk for a story. The clerk laughed and told him the story of a woman who once sailed out and never returned. The child pressed his palm to the ticket and left with a map that had no lines on it. In the background someone on a radio hummed a lullaby in a language that was half-remembered and half-made-up.
