Nobody planted anything here for two summers.
This is from The Garden, the story we tell next to the numbers. In the first chapter there is a gap in the fourth row where no young tree has been planted since. The gardener called Health passes it every morning, and she has never once thought of it as empty ground.
Tomorrow is International Overdose Awareness Day, and it exists for the same reason that gap does.
The Garden does not exist. Everything else in the book does.
