“The people that you don’t think exist do.”

Julian Ford. A boy of seven years who ties knots in apple stems with his tongue, though he can’t abide the taste of the fruit itself.

Wayne Dwight. A man of forty years, blind and deaf, who described to me the most cacophonous thunderstorm I have ever known.

Ellen Lane. A simple girl, 23, who makes curtains out of old clothes, and new clothes out of curtains.

Clyde West. 34. Has a designated popcorn microwave. It’s a broken one. This is, apparently, the latest diet trend.

Maia Skye. Child of a hippy, doesn’t know how old she is or who her father is, only that she has a different name for every star.
