Excerpt from Chapter 2 of the novel: To Be Heard
This went on through the industrial revolution. Then during the Great War it turned into a canon factory. When the Great Depression came, the building was empty all the way until World War 2 and then it stored tank tracks. After the war it became a storage building for the Domino Sugar plant. The plant lasted for fifty or so years and that space became abandoned until some local musicians took it over. We were all there for the same reasons. It took all that history to get us there at that moment when the first sunrise of 2006 came over the horizon. We were the bravest of our former teachers, ready to go anywhere but home.

The building was first erected in the late 1800’s to produce mannequins. It was said to be the first North American factory to produce anatomically correct female mannequins.

By the time I was up on the black tar rooftop, 2006 had arrived and I watched the curly haired gal kissing a guy in the darkness. I started to walk to the opposite side to light a smoke by myself, but a French female accent carried over the thick cold air. “Now you!” The curly haired girl was looking at me again. “Now you. Come here. We can’t start the New Year lonely. That was last year. Last year we were lonely.”
