District Culture Quotes

“That's your son in there? What's he doing?" asked the Grandma'am, aghast.

"He's putting bread crumbs on the body," said Ma. "So Marcus has food on his journey."

"His journey where?" asked the Grandma'am. "He's dead!"

"Back to wherever he came from," said Ma. "It's what we do, back home. When someone dies.”
