Spent the weekend in Slow Motion Valley, the little town every action hero passes through at least once, usually mid-leap. Lovely place. Everything takes four times as long. I ordered a coffee at nine and watched it pour until roughly lunch. The barista turned to face me, and her hair moved first, then her head, then the rest of her, with a low thrumming BWAAAAH sound that nobody there seems to notice anymore. The locals are very patient. They have to be. A man dropped his keys on Tuesday and the whole street stopped to watch them fall, glinting, spinning, catching the light like a dramatic diamond. Somebody cried. The keys landed Thursday. There is no wind in the valley, but every coat flaps anyway. Doves are a real problem. They are everywhere, released from nowhere, flying very slowly past every doorway. The council has tried everything. I left by walking at normal speed, which the residents found deeply rude. A child pointed at me and said, in a voice like a cassette tape dying, "Nooooooooo." I felt that one for days. Would go back. Bring snacks.
