Fever

My name is Julia Jones, or JJ, and I want to be a part of Thisby, but Thisby does not want to be a part of me. I am twenty-five years old and I am not the picture of poverty or weather-worn native of the little, unchanging island. I bring three things to the island: my gear, my dog, and my mule. I am determined to have Thisby, even if Thisby will not have me.
