Four People

Viola:

(Viola is fascinated by insects. She thinks that their unusual beauty and grace is often misunderstood as creepiness. Her favorite insect is the moth. She thinks butterflys are to showy and slightly pretentious. Moths beauty is subtle and amazing. Viola travels around the world to see rare species of moths. Her most successful trip was in the Amazon jungle where she saw 42 different moth species.)

Gertrude:

(Gertrude is a musician who specializes in trumpet and banjo. She loves the sound of big band and old jazz music but she also loves the twangy comfort of old country and blue grass. Her music teacher urged her to choose only one instrument to specialize in, but she could not abandon one of her beloved instruments. Every night, Gertrude has the same dreams where instead of speaking in words, people speak to her in the sounds of a trumpets toot or a banjos strum. When people are cheerful, beautiful songs come from their mouth's. When people are angry, she hears the off key clamor of a poorly played trumpet or banjo.)

Marjorie:

(Marjorie lives on a boat with her sister and her two dogs, Mortimer and Herbert. Winter is her favorite season because she loves snow and she loves how the stormy sea always rocks her to sleep. Marjorie works at a grocery store but she makes extra cash by giving psychic readings. Ever since she was five Marjorie has had psychic glimpses into the future. Giving readings is exhausting and this is why Marjorie does not use her skills of premonition full time.)

Alexandra:

(Alexandra is a first grade teacher throughout most of the year. Although she loves her students, it isn't till Summer where Alexandra really feels happy and alive. During the Summer, Alexandra abandons her ordinary life to take to the road. She hitchhikes all across the United States. She loves visiting strange little towns and meeting unusual people. She loves visiting big cities and seeing the art and culture. Alexandra has been hitchhiking for three summers now, and the country is still a mystery to her.With all the summers of her life she will never see all just this one country has to offer, not to mention the entire world.)
