Katherine

No Bourbon, No Branchwater, Only Katherine

"No Bourbon, No Branchwater, Only Katherine"

It's like a Tom Waits song, but it's not. Instead of a closed down shoe store, the hummingbird is trapped in the plastic that Katherine's former roommate's plastic christmas tree was wrapped in. And it's not one hummingbird, it's two. The man Katherine hooked up with last night accidentally sat on one but maybe it's just stunned. The hummingbird, not the man. So Katherine catches him in her hand while the guy opens the window just enough so she can set him free. Now there's just one bird and one man left to get rid of. How do these things keep getting trapped in here, Katherine wonders to herself.
