 This narrative short is based on a number of true stories. Joe was my grandfather. Charlie was his right knee and our imaginary trail horse until Joe died of Lou Gerhig s disease in 1976. The voices of Kip and Syl stitch together the 6 chapters of this dreamy reflection. A journey back to the house on Quapaw, discovered in severe disrepair, presents a physical representation of the decline of a household. Searching for a sense of personal history, reason, and some sort of closure, Kip and Syl confront their personal ghosts. This is a story of cowboys, of lost dreams, and of broken houses of memory.
