Excerpt, audio transcript, English (US):
Background noise of shuffling items in a kitchen. The close voice of a woman with an accent of the Central Appalachian Plateau / West Virginia region:
[The smell of eyes frying. The smell of coffee, perking. The smell of a roast, cooking. The smell of oil. The smell of manure. The sound of…chickens, cackling.
Bread and butter flowers.]
