This curse doesn’t keep Simone from wanting to put her hands on Jadriel.
Good and cruel gods *all* she wants is to touch him, even if it burns her from the inside out.
But if she lets him kiss her, it'll kill him.
Unless her cousin’s vengeful spirit ends him first.

Like THE BENT NECK LADY:
The Drowning Girl haunted Simone's dreams long before Nina was murdered
She feared her cousin's spirit was stuck in a trauma loop, reliving her violent death—but one should never summon the dead
Now they call her vengeful ghost #TheEastRiverWraith

When Simone dreamt of The Drowning Girl she didn’t know she was seeing her Cousin's murder.
Now, They call her The East River Wraith.
A vengeful ghost who drowns deserving boys—but Nina might take her rage out on the wrong boy.

She’s beautiful in ALL her gore.
Like Halloween past, dressed up as a little dead girl.
Nina was cute & creepy & made me dress as something fiendish too—so we’d be scarier than all the ghouls
Then maybe they wouldn’t notice us
But they always do
No matter what we’re wearing

I had this form of lymes and it was horrific. I couldn’t breathe. Turns out my white blood cells (or red?) were being consumed by the parasite.
Left unchecked=death.
Luckily I went to the docs: who
Told me I was just dehydrated, but I said oh I had a tick-only days ago. Other lymes shows up later.
Left unchecked=death.

Climate change is working out GREAT for tick-borne diseases.
