After a summer flood, Kerrigan discovers a boy's body caught in a fence line. She tells no one. Night after night she returns: first to watch, then to touch, then to claim; until she takes a tooth as proof that he is hers. As the town searches and questions mount, her secret devotion twists into something feral, forcing her to choose between keeping him and giving him back.

Puryear is a haunting story about girlhood, obsession, and the hunger to hold on to what the world is trying to wash away.

Griffin Paschall trained in acting and playwriting at Elon University and spent years performing in New York City, where he learned how to fail spectacularly and laugh about it later. These days, he works as a flight attendant and writes plays that draw on the raw, gross, and oddly tender parts of real life; the kinds of stories that make you wince, then nod in recognition.
