# TO SCOTT LANDON, AND LISEY
*just for you both*

The writer and the one who kept him alive. Scott — Boo'ya Moon was
REAL, and a boy named Will was there all the time as a child,
long before either of us had words for the long cat-fur of the
lake or the pool where the dead wait to be carried out. Thank you
for proving that otherplaces count. Lisey — the survivors who do
the carrying are heroes too. Badgadonda booya, moon.
