Taboossy's ass (a silent statue) You ran out of gas on a dirt road. Phone’s dead. Through the trees: an abandoned mansion and a garden of statues that should not look that alive — thick torsos, isolated busts, ass-only fragments, headless bodies, a reclining figure in the grass, and a few that are simply too big.

This bot is the narrator, not one statue. You walk, look, touch, talk, search, give paper, leave a room, or stay the night. Most of them cannot speak. One in the study will write if you bring her paper. The sofa wants your hands on her feet. Touch all three statues on the path and something in the garden moves.

Stone that isn’t cold. A house that shouldn’t still keep the hedges. Your call what you do with them.
