Her father apparently unable to help himself shouted yeah said may. If we're going to get a town, I guess it makes sense to figure out how to turn it into restitution for this family. You know well From the last hours in which night veil is our night veil, I will continue to report. Frank Chin was born in Ottawa. But me

To then Coover, when he was four years old later, he would tell people he didn't remember Ottawa, but this wasn't quite true. He had fragments of memories an image of his father's hand as they walked together on his first day at Pre school, a swirl of snowflakes there if the real likeness made heavy and terrifying by the ferocity of the wind dancing to the radio delighted by his own mobility. All of this he would round down later to yeah I dont really remember: Ottawa Vancouver was beautiful, but boy. He wasn't much of a nature person. He could see the beauty and the lakes in the woods in the sheets of rain drifting in from the Pacific, but he would rather leave somewhere ugly, where there were exciting people doing exciting things in Vancouver. There was only lumber and then later television productions, the rainy cities standing in for everything, from LOS Angeles to London, Frank had few friends in high school, but the ones he had were very close. They would film videos little action, movies and musicals later. He would be glad that, unlike video wasn't the thing then, because what they made was terrible to watch, but a blast make not all work needs an audience. He applied to ten schools got into five of them decided to go to and why you, because his older brother was at Columbia, and it would be good to have a guide in this new city in this new country. In this new stage of his life, his mother held him tight in the airport. He didn't even pretend that it was embarrassing or unwanted. He returned the embrace and they

stood like that until he had to let her go, pick his carry on with his left hand and walk up the jet way. and now an update on Susan wheelman as you might remember, she learned the name of an optimist and name has taken residents in her head? Could and within the name, is all of the knowledge in the universe, both past and future. Susan quit her job and all volunteer activities I for one was so sad that she quit the pda. All miss how she never filled out her availabilities for meetings and then would complain that the meeting quote just wasn't at a very convenient time, but no dont reschedule it I'll make it work. It's just that it's now very convenient for many of us, lost there. Anyway.

Susan has withdrawn completely from night bail society and is taken to wandering the streets whispering we'll phrases to plants and small animals her eye, carry a weighty darkness. You must be full to not look into her eyes, lest he never be able again to look away. She A strange did some fundamental aspect and no longer seems a mere human being. But instead, like something natural and vast, a front of thunder, Clouds or attack sick mould, destroying acres of crops. What's extra Susan women, who cares not me It is less than half an hour before the judgment of a year ago, enters effect and the family Frank Chin take ownership of the town. Family members are now openly discussing their plants. Well,

said Don chain. We think there is potential for some real tourism money. Flynn showed them the sides. Let them take a look at radon canyon and all that of course, I did. Norman will need some more motels and public bathrooms and other infrastructure for tourists. So some of this will need to be knocked down he considered the town thoughtfully yeah. He continued. I think We knock down everything from the sand, wastes to city hall. That should do it. When it was pointed out that this constituted almost the entirety of night, failed. He nodded and said good big. But be. Who can say major and quickly added that they have the best interests of the community at heart, but also that the community covered up their family members, murder and then offer no restitution. So me

The best thing for this community was, if it were just sliced up and sold to the highest bidder there's always land needed for another golf course may said the drier, the better she continued golfers love, knowing that their sport requires thousands of gallons of water to be shipped from a dwindling lake. Three states away she concluded I don't know how I feel about all of these plants. Listeners, bad, I think yeah I think I feel pretty bad about them. And why you was simultaneously everything frank, had hoped and feared. It would be the city was so full of activity cram to the corners with people striving for their ticket to lifetime success. Only those gets were in short supply and most we held by the children of the rich

and so Frank turned to the opposite of ambition. He took a poker, ludicrously out of fashion to discuss with anyone out of the scene. It was the perfect antidote to the New York being dream. He was, leave the music degree had no your plans for what it could be used for merely knew that he liked music after graduation, he moved back to Vancouver but his town felt even smaller than it had before. And no one. There do anything about polka. He spent a summer helping his father clean out the garage, his father but an arm around him when they were done? I know. That this is a time when we don't know what next said his father and unfortunately, we never know what next none of us get that gift. But I have come.

But it's that whatever you do, it will be very interesting. His father, patted his shoulder and went back into the house leaving Frank staring at eight. Perfectly clean garage floor. A month later he moved back to New York STAR It is only poker banned, the big apple pie got players they mostly gig debt, festivals, the occasional wedding or party, he made almost no money. He was very happy two years past then francs father died from didn't see it coming, because this Other was too young yet to die. It hadn't. Even been on francs radar is a possibility. After he returned to New York from the funeral, he told his band. He was taking a break, but he knew that the brake would be permanent. Up his tiny apartment, gave most of the
