ZIPPY
say, your house is really coming along!
SADIE
my house was this little split-level ranch house
right on the lake;
modeled precisely on my grandparent’s house
in vermilion, ohio
the house of my childhood summers
SADIE & ZIPPY
the house of my childhood happiness
SADIE
i was inspired by my aunt’s collection of photo albums—
all labeled by year, swoon—
filled with pictures of holidays and occasions at my grandparents’ house
i would stay up for hours
scouring the backgrounds
SADIE & ZIPPY
looking for things i could recreate
with the game’s customizable database:
SADIE, ZIPPY & SUSAN
a black vase with liliеs on the side
a wooden statuеtte of an old man with a knapsack
a brass magnifying glass with a cowboy boot handle
SADIE
i wanted to get everything just right
a perfect digital replica
i’ve always been pretty ocd—
it used to drive jasmine crazy
SADIE, ZIPPY & SUSAN
see there’s this clicking in my head
when certain things line up
when like is put with like
and there is order
