The story of Fennel Pip

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

She kept no collection of stolen songs. Every melody received a card recording who had brought it, where they had heard it, and whether they wished to hear it again. One card returned to the desk each morning with a fresh line of music written in red pencil.

The line grew into a song for a station that had never opened. Fennel followed its rhythm along the disused tracks, her thin tail curling safely away from the rails. At the unfinished platform, a speaker played a welcome announcement addressed to a single passenger whose name had been erased.

Instead of supplying a name, she brought a portable recorder and captured the announcement exactly as it was. Back at the listening room, visitors recognized different fragments: a lullaby, a market call, the whistle of an old kettle. The missing passenger was not one person but a neighborhood scattered by rebuilding.

Fennel organized an evening where every fragment could be heard without being forced into agreement. The red pencil stopped adding notes. At the depot, the silent platform acquired a public bench, and the listening room gained a song whose final verse belonged to whoever arrived next.
