"There's a brown girl in the ring, tra la la la la": a Caribbean playground song, and Nalo Hopkinson turns it into a summons. Toronto's downtown has been left to itself.

The heaviness of loss in her heart hadn't eased, but there was room there for humour, too.
Brown Girl In The Ring, Nalo Hopkinson
