A genderless and racially ambiguous child of an unknown age is found sleeping on a church pew. The community take it upon them selves to shelter and discover the mysteries of the child they name “pew”. But Pew won’t speak, and with the Forgiveness Festival approaching, the town start to prepare Pew for its events, as well as start to question the timing of their new arrival. Pew is sent to various people that offer and claim to be able to help them, though staying silent, ends up offering their ear to the people that need to talk. This was a great little story and says a lot about gender and race and our need to categorise and classify each other. The writing was simple yet poetic in its descriptions and consisted of some of the most natural sounding and distinct dialogue between its large cast.
