The Model Village
All the
streets were skeletal at night. Only the cardboard village of ruined
boxes in the alleys off C Street could look twice as stricken in the
daylight as it did in the darkness. Modafuschia, self-named, emerged
from one of the dwellings and began walking from one streetlight to
another until the distance between them became so great that she did not
immediately realize they had stopped altogether.
She
stood beyond the boundary between municipality and the rural. She
was only 20, but she'd been living on the streets up and down the River
from St. Louis to Dubuque for three years. Still she preferred to
dwell in structures, make paths, follow beaten trails between invisible
boundaries. She had always found a way for herself and those she
could persuade to follow her.
She was never without resources, so this night she took the direction that led to the Model Village.
