MAISY PHELPS
Marina and Marina and Marina and Marina
1: Marina, the Prophet.
The night before the assassination, Marina and her husband fight.
(he’d say they “have a fight” just like they
had 2 children in 1962. The fight suckles her
breast while the youngest child bounces on
her hip. They have a fight).
He comes home late from work and sees her
holding their youngest girl. He smiles, at first,
and she thinks she finally makes him happy.
She sees his pride in his family.
