It was taken at a party.

All those people...

Dressed up, you know, it was very bohemian-like.

And Audrey was in there.

And people were drinking something from champagne flutes.

Something really dark.

It was a really dark liquid.

And everyone had sort of a thumbprint, it looked like, on their foreheads.

And there was an old caption beneath the photo.

It said...

Sanguinarians and Donors Party, July 24th, 1954.

What my folks didn't know, not even my fiancé knew this, was that I had a kind of compulsion myself, which worried me.

It was very different from Audrey's.

Nothing violent or dark.

but still really troubling i felt it for years so i couldn't really get her out of my head so i tracked down her address and one day i went out there it was on the county line she didn't have a phone number so i just showed up middle of the day i took a chance uh

It was this gravel road that went way back into the woods, full of potholes.

And then it opened up a little, and there was this very big trailer there.

And besides the trailer was an old ice cream truck, done up in all these bright colors.

But it was rusting out, so a really remote place.

I went up and knocked on the door, and here she came.
