Strange People in Strange Places
Freddie was strange. As the newest addition to the overcrowded three-bedroom duplex, wrapped in a Spanish-style stucco and shrouded in palm trees and in the middle of the Glendale Annex, Freddie did not quite fit in. The home was caressed by dozens of houses, filled with nobodies who hiked to work every morning and never returned home in the evenings, to rinse and repeat the next day, with newly blood-shot eyes. Either end of the Annex dipped into mountainous landscapes that stretched out towards the sun, both in greeting and a never-ending goodbye, like a polite Southern hostess. Hall-Beckly Canyon welcomed in the old friend with politeness; Haines Canyon Park saw to its exit with a “y’all don’t be strangers, ya hear?” and thirty more minutes of unhurried goodbyes.
