This is a remarkable piece. I especially like these lines--
She breathes it in – Mississippi – then drifts toward sleep, thinking of someplace she’s never been. Late, Mississippi is a dark backdrop bearing down on the windows of her room.
The strength of the imagery pulls in the reader. Wonderful writing.
