To please Don, Preston cuts himself a thin slice, then puts the rest of the cake in the fridge so that the others can enjoy it in the morning. only WE know shit,” an old joke among the janitorial staff. One of his coworkers has written, “They don’t know shit. When Preston opens the card, a cardboard cat pops out at him and does an obscene little dance while tinny music blares out from a device buried in the pasteboard. In the office, he finds the cake with a card propped up beside it. Even the small motion of opening the service door feels charged. There is a thrumming tension inside him, and he imagines a network of power lines strung across the grid of his bones.

He has never seen this place so beautiful, sparks of rose playing in the swaying grass, blue smoke clouds whistling past. Preston slows the truck for a red light at the edge of a great field, he and Ilsabeth tap their kickstands into place and stand there in the glow. They pass giant live oaks and marshes singing out their green verses of insects and loons. ![]() He’s riding a narrow gravel road across the Louisiana plains with Ilsabeth at his side. ![]() Today he is not in his battered Ford F-150 but on the blue bicycle he rode every day as a teenager until the August he left for college. He has driven this road thousands of times, but on days like this, the landscape becomes mercurial, shifting into something else entirely. The music composed by MONACA and the character design by Shirow Miwa and Shinjiro Takata are also featured.The late afternoon sun kindles green-gold fire in the rainwater ditches that line Preston’s route to work.
