Jefferson Avenue
After many months of isolation during a global pandemic, Zora must adjust to a new normal when the downstairs tenants move back in, taking away her access to the garden downstairs. As her romantic relationship deteriorates, her obsession with the new tenants and the garden increases. She feels she is a body being used to satisfy another's needs. Her denial dissipates, and her new purpose becomes clear. She wants what little of her’s is left in that garden.
