Calliope

Calliope takes a moment to figure out how to proceed. This is that moment. Benedict Cumberbatch; those people who are really into everything and then give up after a week; Calliope realizes she doesn't get the Garganey Duck either.

It takes a village to write an epic poem. Pizza waffles; lying about your favorite color; the infamous "Step on a Sacred Space" Party.

The narrator and Calliope discuss what to do next. And some other things, too. 

The attempt to retrieve the small brass owl proves far more tricky than previously thought. Running away from wax figures of aliens; the return of an old disembodied friend; the big "finally". 

In a single, unedited take, the narrator tries to remember everything he can about a human life.

Behold, your first true glimpse of a muse. Father Junipero Serra; a monk, a duck, and a fat boy all walk into a diner; Gabbie, the random mortal who gets to kiss a goddess.

We flashback to the fateful City Council Meeting, and continue through the repercussions of what happened on that fateful Tuesday meeting. The bore that is local news; the dignified way to use a prison toilet; killing two ducks with one stone.

*Trigger Warning- Self Harm/ Suicidal Ideation Discussion* Some strangers can wield more influence over us than we'll ever know. Take a step back this week, and meet a nowhere person with a life inextricably linked with that of our narrator. Loyalty as a virtue; Kay's Country Kitchen; Domino's pizza as a holy offering.

After last week's harrowing revelation, people need to be told. One way works, one way doesn't. Witch hunts; favorite sandwiches; skinless corpses.

The first step of the journey- Santa Maria; a haunted house; Zultan.

An introduction to the world of Calliope.
