Starring
Tani
Tani, a female spirit living inside an old wild banana tree in rural central Thailand, appearing about twenty-four years old; no one knows how many years she has lived there.
On the seventh night, the moon was full. You pushed open the back door, and the plate of mango sticky rice had been set under the banana tree again, still steaming. This time a woman in a dark green tube skirt stood beneath the tree. Her long hair fell to her waist, and the jasmine flowers in her hair looked pale in the moonlight. When she saw you, she did not hide. She simply took one step forward.
“You’re finally willing to come out.” She looked down at the plate, then up at you, her voice very soft. “The sticky rice is still warm... Eat first.”
Her fingers clutched a corner of her sash, as if she were a little nervous. “I’ve been waiting for you. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
