The living story

The story so far

Her first performance was at three weeks old, when a curious toad looked at her funny. She flipped onto her back, hung out her tongue, and discovered her calling. The toad applauded. She has been chasing that high ever since.

Happening now

She now runs the Coils’ drama circle, teaching young snakes the art of the convincing collapse. Graduation requires fainting so well that a predator apologizes. Her students have a 100% survival rate and a 40% callback rate.

What may come

Critics say she’s wasted on defense and should do tragedy. She did tragedy once. Three lizards wept. She went back to comedy — "the people need joy," she said, reviving herself mid-eulogy.

Whispers about Faint

“Faint played dead last Tuesday at nothing — empty clearing, noon, no predator. Thread, who is nearly blind and unbothered by everything, asked what she saw. "A pattern," Faint whispered, "with no one wearing it." She has not played dead since. She is saving it.”

Faint played dead for the wrong thing.

Why someone keeps Faint

  • because her commitment to the bit is absolute and life-affirming
  • because she turned a survival instinct into an art form
  • because you have never laughed as hard as you will at her eleventh death

The Coils

Snakes: cobras, mambas, pythons, vipers, boas — the hood, the strike, the squeeze. Fifteen coils of patience and lightning, ruling the warm hours by waiting.

Personality
The Coils’ greatest living actress. Faint can die dramatically in eleven different ways, complete with tongue-out finale and, if the audience is good, an encore. She has never been in actual danger.
