By the pond, a twelve‑year‑old girl whispers secrets to golden carp. Further on, pigs root through chard scraps, children run between corn rows, and a Creole rooster with greenish sickles crows off‑beat.
And up on the platform, a fifteen‑year‑old girl looks without looking. Because inside the house, on the oak table, there are some papers.
What can she see from up there that the others can't? And what does she do with what she sees?
