CHICKADEE

For what they hope will be the last time, four girls dedicate themselves to fulfilling the ideal conditions for fun – convening at the right time (noon), the right place (under the oak tree), with the right company (a young man they have recently abducted from the natural sciences building – whose name, unfortunately, is Chet). Knowledge is worthless, science is rubbish, and deviation is unthinkable – until it’s inescapable.
