Illustrated story excerpt shows a toy soldier holding a drum falls forward and curls into a ball. Text reads, “Unbearably slow, and all too quickly, I deflate to the cool February pavement—a melted snowman of fabric.

After two years of standing tall, striking my drum with almost no notice or appreciation, the show is over.”
