Question

there, probably still passed out on his leather couch. ona had been swaddled and maneuvered into the bow of a rowboat and, as legend tells, slept through the whole affair. perhaps it was this swaddling she longed for more than anything with all this terrible sinking going on.
ona walked for days, determined to find safety on higher ground. if she read her instruments correctly, she was adjacent to a national forest. the public would not stand for the sinking of a national forest so when she found a slate bungalow, she settled there. though two walls were missing, she concluded it was due to wind and rain and the birch tree that had swindled its way up and through the middle of the sweet, abandoned home. it wasn’t sinking.
the kitchen still held a butcher-block table with a family of plates. ona piled them one on top of the other and pulled them to her chest, sick with grief, sick with longing at the sight of the dust-free circles left behind. after rinsing each dish in the creek, she dried them with her shirtsleeve and put them back in place. at dusk, fingertips numb, ona tore sheets of bark from the tree, building herself a papery cradle on the uneven floorboards where she could sleep for years.
