8/7 late night/early morning; video; @girl.albatross
A new planet.
[ The video is dark, too close, zoomed in on someone's brown eyes. They blink. The image zooms out to a girl with dark brown hair, long, unkempt, and in her face. She's wearing a knit dress over a long-sleeved top, which hides her hands from the camera. Her eyes are both tired but startled and wide. Like she's just seen a ghost in the middle of a nightmare. She's sitting cross-legged on the bedroom floor of a cabin. ]
A new puzzle to learn.
[ She taps the lens on the smartphone with a fingertip, three times. Her face has a gentle expression of consideration, tinged with some sadness. ]
It's all going to go terribly before it gets any better, and then go terribly again.
[ The girl starts chewing on her bottom lip and turns her gaze away from the phone, frowning. There are some pointy party hats in fleshy colors on the floor, each one several feet from the others and each one is pointing on a different axis.]
She doesn't think that's very surprising to anyone by now.
The food's gone rotten like the floorboards like the card.
[ She returns her attention to the camera, picks up from her lap and flashes the card at the phone's camera before tossing it to the side. ]
The Albatross Girl has arrived unwhole and hale; her various missing pieces still unaccounted for. Why do the hats sing?
[ She sticks out her tongue; clearly that was an unpleasant experience. ]
Does she have to live alone?
