She Spins Her Head Backwards Like An Owl
Meet Señora Haydee Gonzalez. She showed up at my door one day, introducing herself as a potential tenant. Before I could say no, she pushed herself into my life. I was asked to install surveillance videos in her room to help her catch the people who visit her in the night. The last thing Haydee gave me was a full-color calendar featuring herself. Peanut man music composed and performed by Juan Calderon.
