There might be others, too. Waiting to hear about Brentwood and Downtown.

I’m picturing this, Novi is a courier with a motorbike. At 15 she began the job to support her family when her mother died of Covid. She is the fastest courier in Mumbai but refuses to delver packages to those who will not tip her; after two grueling years of low wages she joins the carnival. 🏍️

I feel her life probably deserves at least a short story.

I would suggest hiring Novi the stunt driver. A slug of whiskey and a joint and she drives sideways for 8 minutes. It’s better than a #stl Cardinals game.

Since they are turning #stl Union Station into a carnival I would like to suggest adding a motorbike stunt-driving circle. It’s much more exciting than the Stassenfest kiddie coaster they built. 🧐
