The Story
It’s set in a market bizarre within a magic-realist world.The market is expanding so fast that by the time you reach the edge to get out, more stalls have been built, new dealers have set up and the edge has moved beyond your reach.
In a world unto itself with its little Kingdoms and their histories and customs varying between the sellers of different goods; limes, hearth idols, coloured beads, medicinal herbs, mannequin heads, tincture glass, fine plastic china, coffins, mannequin torsos, rare birds, barrels of oil, funny weed, holy bones, bowls of birra, live lambs, salt, human hair, satirical masks, fish scales, real fire, electric race cars and magic!
