TGThe burro’s tail actually called me about 30 minutes ago. From Canada. Collect.
Her name is Abigail Thoreau Nightingale III. She spelled it twice and asked if I was writing it down. When I asked about the third, she mentioned something about coming from cuttings and then went quiet. I didn’t push.
She goes by Abby with people she likes. You’ll know where you stand by how much of the name she makes you use.
The full name is for shedding incidents. All four names, slowly, like a headmistress, while she lies there molting on your floor like a Victorian orphan. She’ll understand. She’s a third.
