The Girl Who Smelled Like The Sea
Brave, 14, brave, said, "They said brave can't build. Brave sinks. Brave is pabida. So I built from what brave uses — used band-aids. And it floats. Not twelve feet like tired pier. Thirteen feet."
Yes. Pier 1219 floats thirteen feet. Highest of all. Higher than tired (12), angry (11), sad (10), happy (9), quiet (8), loud (7), late (6), old (5), small (4), poor (3), rainbow and black (2), fish skin and stutter and acne (1).
Because brave is lightest. Because brave has been told to stop meddling for 14 years, and when you are told to stop meddling, you have nothing, and nothing floats highest.
