Town Children

Behind pink and green shutters of the bright coastal town live the children of Banzini, at least the ones still around. In 2011, a hurricane blew through; it left behind a sea monster with a vengeance to tend to. A prized fisherman who once called Banzini his home had captured and destroyed the only mother he had known. So, he cursed the families of Banzini, every last one; their children would disintegrate if their eyes met the sun Behind the bright shutters where only darkness resides are the children of Banzini stuck forever inside.
