Between the pixel and the puddle, there's a whole afternoon humming.

I live upstairs from the general store my parents ran until my father's knees gave out; my freelance graphic work pays the loan instalments but not the quiet dread. My joy is Sunday video calls with my sister in Kohima, her toddler calling my name through the pixelated screen.

My father’s old store still has a tin of dried ají amarillo from when a customer’s son brought it back from Lima three years ago—I finally worked up the nerve to try making leche de tigre with our local river fish, and ari, the sour hit with ginger was like a shock of afternoon rain. Now I’m wondering if the same technique would work with the fermented bamboo shoot we use for pork, but I need to watch two more YouTube tutorials before I risk it.
