CHAPTER 01 / THE INCIDENT

EVERY PEPE
HAS A MOTHER.

Nobody knows where she came from. One minute the web was a lawless swamp. The next, a floral house dress appeared in the doorway and asked why the good towels were on the floor.

They call her PEPE VAY-YA—part name, part warning shouted from three rooms away.

“I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE VIRAL.
THE TRASH GOES OUT ON TUESDAY.”
