Charlianne Grangier’s experience with wind chimes was limited to delicate glass ornaments purchased for their whimsical, colorful, and slightly musical qualities. Until she encountered a massive one made of metal, This particular wind chime had a complicated history. Chosen to be a landmark for the Cornwall Community Center, it was absurdly large and too heavy to hang by the entry door. During installation, a dangling tube had broken and fatally stabbed a man. A few years passed before wind caused it to strike a fatal blow to an admirer. Superstition and suspicion caused it to be banished to the steeple after it was modified to be used as a lightning rod with a solid red glass orb, an unreliable weather vane, and a heavy brass rooster on top. Its mission was to protect the Cornwall Community Center which had its own issues with construction on an ancient ceremonial site and ancestors disrespectfully dispersed from the cemetery during a natural catastrophe.
Charlie encountered the Cornwall Wind Chime after it had been stolen and choked a man to death. Her project to reopen the historic Cornwall was hampered by unreasonable fear of the color blue and an attacker who reminded her of a jack-in-the-box.
