“Matrona felt too old to be a grandmother, an irony that made her laugh when she said it. The girls didn’t listen, and half defeated her each time she tried to give an order. Nonetheless, for one feeling the power of symbols, something was afoot in the landing of the whale. Her own grandmother told history in terms of such visits from strangers. Things usually didn’t turn out well. The story of conquests was old yet powerful. “Something will change now,” she told the girls, working a needle through the canvas.” — Naomi Klouda
