Looney Meek was born in Boston, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. After her mom is manipulated and r**** by a man in her town, she and her mother face persecution at the hands of those who were supposed to believe her and her mother. They were tried as witches and burnt at the stake; they punished as liars, mentally ill, and ruining the life of a man due to a time where patriarchy and misogyny led to heinous acts. 

However, Looney Meek forever lives on, becoming the ruler of The Sheep Keep, where she minds spirits that once lived and never questioned society and just blindly followed what they were told. Because of the sheep in her town, she was burnt alive at seventeen, and her story is still told throughout the centuries. Looney essentially becomes a fairy tale and even makes herself known to people when they sin because of patriarchal, political, and religious conforms, because she and her mother were victims of these reforms.

She welcomes you, dear reader, to her story, her reborn body, and how she and her birds either drag sheep to her keep, or protect people that are at risk of becoming what she minds. Thank you for listening to her story, and welcome to the keep! 


(Verb tense changes due to her telling her story in the past and present).

I draped my skin ---- shepherd's thread,


No wings remained, not a scar for days, 


Bird feathers stitched the dresses back


Mother Mary's portrait is silent as it.


righteous and all, a herd's devotion.
