The Mississippi River flows silently as Mississippi stands on the bank, her silhouette framed by the water. In her hand, a collection of stones awaits their fate. One by one, they arc through the air, disappearing into the depths with soft splashes. Her expression is one of rare contentment. Suddenly, the peace is shattered by the chatter of tourists in the background. She turns, her eyes rolling at the intrusion, muttering a curse under her breath before returning to her ritual, grateful for this small, solitary joy.
