SUMMARY OF THE FENCE The setting is reflective of the kind of characters and the situation they would be in. The nipa huts look desolate and empty‚ reflective of how their occupants behave and feel for each other. They have no neighbors and yet the need for each other seems remote and distant.

The day was vivid and clear. Snow had fallen through the night‚ and when Nikk emerged it was gently and silently. The Menagerie had shed from this perfect realm‚ this white pristine world if not for just a moment‚ and as Nikk stood in the snow she felt a hint of magic as she had when she was a child in Pavek; in Russian. She allowed herself a small‚ stolen moment and leaned her head back to the blackened skeletons of the sleeping trees and brilliant blue skies. Her brown eyes closed‚ and for the
