Old Writing

Kenny returned after a week's regular disappearance, and an irregular trial by centipede venom on the West side of the island. Taft bought orchids from a local farm and in the transaction was given a sleek, full body of a recently dead rooster. Kai returned from Kona with a friend with pink hair. A quiet new worker came from Wyoming, and a couple, with a screaming child, from the Western mainland. Fate seems to have just remembered that lonely little corner of the world, and shine a light in for a moment, only to blind the little creatures inside it. M sometimes thought of California and his family in it. It was the filter that held the sanity within the Western edge of the country, and everyone who reached Hawaii was crazy enough to pass through it.
