The Greek Chorus first appeared on Thursday night, as Zara lugged two paper bags full of groceries into the gravel public parking lot. The Chorus members wore tattered togas made from faintly flower-patterned, oft-washed bedsheets, and their faces were painted white with greasepaint.
Since she was in Berkeley, Zara assumed the Chorus members were performance artists of some kind, and didn't pay much attention when they drifted from out of the bushes and among the parked cars to stand in a loose semi-circle a few feet behind her. As she unlocked her trunk and wedged the grocery bags between a box of mismatched shoes and a broken lamp she'd never gotten around to throwing out, the Chorus said--in a single voice, from many throats--"Crazed with rapture, she sings and trills, dark bird that loves the night." The line sounded familiar--Zara was an actress, and she'd done several classical plays--but she couldn't quite place it.
