“My hands squeeze my temples as I focus all my energy on my bowl of dried crickets. If I could resurrect them, could they write this pointless essay for me? They'd likely mock me with their nonexistent knowledge of what it's like to be a pure red girl. Useless writing partners.”

An old boyfriend from high school strolled past the back of my car. A toddler walked beside him. In his arms, he held a baby no older than six months. What in the absolute hell did Mom talk me into? #1stLinePit #R #A #humor #disabilityrep #Q #AmQuerying

I didn’t run from the ballroom. I walked quickly. The laughter & chatter of the gala danced across the hotel, chasing me as I escaped the festivities. I settled into the sun that shined through the full windowed doors of the hotel lobby.

The earth at the mouth of the Burrow was warm and loose.
Mullen sank down before it, cradling the stillborn buckling in his arms. He laid it in the Burrow, where the the air reverberated with life, vibrating in time with his heart.

His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed.

The scent of flowers lingered in the air as she strode down the hall. Roses maybe . . . ?
No. This was lighter, a touch more exotic. This was the scent of vanilla cookies, and finely crystallized sugar cakes which were served during tea. Then, the slight hint of hyacinths.

The smoke rises like a phantom snake, stirring around the white ceiling tiles before disappearing into thin air.

A woman inherits two portraits, and is haunted by a specter guiding her closer to the truth--hidden behind the walls of a sanatorium in the woods.
