Darius watches the people in his neighborhood and tries to make sense of the complicated feelings that he and Twig have about who they are and who they want to be through the use of various metaphors that he uses in his stories, including an ongoing narrative about a falcon named Fury with whom Darius identifies. Twig’s family, for instance, wants him to work at his uncle’s bodega rather than train and compete, and Twig himself is sometimes ambivalent about what he wants for his future running offers him a way to sort out his feelings in the present, but he’s not sure where and how he wants it to take him into his future. Darius is an aspiring writer, Twig a rising track star, and together they are seeking a way to transcend the limitations their community seems to want to put on them. ![]()
