The Cilantro on Dead Shores

Issue #1, page 3 of 4

  1. In the kitchen, Jonas gags over a pot boiling with coriander. Chart waits in the doorway. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, JUST COME AND FIND US AT THE BAR. BLUB BLUB
  2. Jonas runs out into the rain. I RAN.
  3. The road is a river. Coriander lines both banks. THE ROAD WAS GONE. ONLY GREEN ON BOTH BANKS. WAITING.
  4. Lightning: the sign has turned green, its sun now a coriander leaf. EVEN THE SIGN HAD TURNED. KRAKOOM
  5. Jonas walks back in. Every diner turns to watch. THERE WAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
  6. Amanda sets a taco in front of him. SIT WHEREVER YOU LIKE.
