She's 85 -and never been married. She shares a modest abode with her dog and a hen who provides her with all the eggs she needs. She is nearly completely deaf. She can cure migraines and anxiety attacks instantly by a wave of her tiny, callused hand. It is suspected that she withered her neighbor's crops because she blames them for the death of her water buffalo cow. She picks a walnuts from the tree in the backyard, and cracks them open perfectly, in her palm.

This is my aunt who lives in Naples. Right this very minute.
