Functor
pekania pennanti? a fisher? a long and thick beast, a critter with whiskers and ears and beady black eyes and sharp claws. a fisher, otherwise unanthropomorphized, dangling as though held beneath the forelegs by invisible hands.
Unseeing
When the pekania stirs at the slow warming of day, his eyes drift open as usual to the slit of relaxed muscles that is his habit, and then he shouts.
What if we find out
The handwritten labels made little sense to my chemistry brain at first: _odocoileus virginianus, didelphis virginiana, pekania pennanti,_ and _procyon lotor_. i had never heard of these chemicals before, but i did know how to find out.
