Stray Country - Season 1 - A Carousel For Pigs - Chapter 8

Mom.

 

Dad.

 

Two actors who headline the Broadway pageant of our lives.  But in Stray Country may play bit parts to a cigarette.  Third billing to a dead lady down the street.  Be upstaged by a white plastic grocery sack.

 

Two people who may as well be in another country. 

 

Because they are.

 

This is how Stray Country works. 

 

It is not a country a man decides to visit.  It is not a country a woman flies or drives to.  It is not a place anyone can point to on any map.

 

It is a country that finds you.

 

Takes you far away.

 

Somewhere very staticky.

 

Somewhere between radio signals.

 

Somewhere beyond the range of parental radio towers.
