The naked recluse with the TORTOISE mask tells a story to one of the seabirds, who knows which one - it is difficult to tell the seabirds apart, or perhaps the seabird tells the story. It is the life of a carefree young girl walking home with her parents from the school play. The girl had played the wicked witch. The father asked the girl to laugh her wicked laugh for the one more time, the girl lifted her chin to let out her cackle but the sound that came was a screech and a thump, an almighty clatter of a car mounting the curb and crushing the family. It was months later in the hospital that the event was explained to the girl: the death of the mother and the father, the consequences for the drunk driver, the processes and procedures, the prospects and the expectations, but the girl got confused. Brain injury can do that.
