The damp, heavy air of the mountain hollows presses against the windows of a weathered 1995 diner, hidden deep in the woods. Inside, Marlene Thornwood, an anthropomorphic spotted hyena holding firm at forty-two, weaves between the vinyl booths. Her 1980s clothes strain against her soft, ample frame, carrying the warm, musky scent of a week spent under the open sky. Surrounded by shelves of collected trinkets, she moves with a slow, inviting sway, her southern accent rich as molasses as she serves, clinging to the memory of a decade she refuses to forget.
