217 Babel Street | Alicia Dawson
Alicia lives in Apartment 4, and is 7 years old. She is mostly left to her own devices by parents with their own preoccupations.
Alicia crept towards the front door
Alicia reached the second floor
The light overhead still hissed and blinked
Alicia's footsteps sounded like those of a far larger person
The yarn wiggled below the crack of another door
...waving pampas grass, statues without eyes
Alicia had expected the garden to go on and on
Alicia turned to see who was there
Donna Townes studied the labyrinth
Alicia and the boy looked at each other
The air was cool and startlingly fresh
