Crdoba Cordob and Enrique Muñoz

Loughborough Leicestershire of Leif liked to feed suet sticks to the birds that perched on the branches in the tree outside his sittingroom window. Lela, stopping to watch the perching birds, said hello to whomever was within range, helloing as many as 27 times a day. Crdoba Cordob, sole heir to the Leopoldina Stichsäge Company, lived behind the Church of the Perpetual Sinner, an exhibit of saws hanging from the trees that served as a windbreak surrounding his meager home. Enrique Muñoz wears a flyboy cap with button-up earflaps. He knew of Loughborough Leicestershire (of Leif) and was somewhat acquainted with Crdoba Cordob, but had yet to make the acquaintance of Mr. Qolzaño or the great Migrateurs’ Obrist’s. Not being a church going man he spent Mass time counting the birds perched in the branches outside the window of the shack where he'd lived for the past 27 ½ years, 3 of which he’d spent shivering in the cold as he hadn’t the money to buy hearth wood. Five years earlier his dog passed over into the otherworld, leaving behind a torn ear and a half-tail, the pigs chewing on the ear like a rawhide bone.
