2.22 LAUNCH TEASER
Come here…my sweetheart. Come closer. No, really. This story works better when you’re close.
…It all starts on a farm in Nannup called Chestnut Brae.
Nothing hurries in Nannup…Not the trees. Not the light. Not even the chooks
..If you rush…you miss it.
..And around here… you don’t want to miss it.
..See. one day… a little sloth named Souci gets left behind on a chook farm
..Not far. Just…enough.
..She sits on a fence post. Small. Still. Watching the dust where the bus used to be.
..Here’s the strange part. She doesn’t call out.
..She just… waits…Like she knows.
…and the chooks, the Thunderclucks…
..They know too. They always notice things first.
Say it with me…They always notice things first.
..They come in ones… then threes… then all at once.
..Talking. Arguing. One of them definitely has a bit of gas...
..Then…silence.
..They look at Souci. Souci looks at them.
..Decision made…No meeting. No vote.
..Just…”ours now”.
Down the hill they go…Not in a line. More like… a feathery squabble.
