🌷Clementessa’s Preview!✨

We’re excited to share this snippet of @clementessa.bsky.social’s fic for the zine! Her beautiful work is featured in the Childhood section—and you can read the full thing by preordering!
A preview for the fic “graffiti hearts” by Clementessa. She's staring at the blank page. She thinks about picking up the crayon but her hand doesn't move. Even worse, her hand does the opposite. It pushes against the desk, shoving her back so hard, her chair screeches against the wood floor. Miss Eliza stops mid-sentence and stares at her. "Aerith?" Aerith looks back at her. Realizes everyone is staring at her. And then—she runs.
