I wrote this story for everyone bearing their own secret struggles. Which is all of us.
anmly.org/ap41/eirene-...
Ami pouring her own cereal, making her own eggs. She waited until sun clawed all the way across the floor to my throat and I wake, coughing. Her fingerprints like tulips on the water glass by my bed she carefully carried with both hands so it wouldn't spill. She chattered musically to a corn plant without ears. "A corn plant without ears," she yelped, another joke I don't get. It's been years since I fell in the backroom of Jinny's. The blood in my head sludges my limbs, I suffocate in my own resin. Ami forges my signature on school documents and credit cards. She calls me from school, her formal voice colliding with her childish questions. If pillows were stuffed with lashes would I dream of eyes? The electricity is still on thanks to Ami. She gets decent grades. The school only called me once when she slipped on a field day and broke her ankle. You need to come get her they said but I didn't know where they were.

I can’t stop taking pictures of mushrooms.
A…mushroom. With a tiny leaf and shadow of other leaves on its little white cap.

This is a little storybook house, obviously.
Tiny mushroom like a little bulbous umbrella.

Woods with so many kinds of mushrooms we’d feast or be dead.*
Plump juicy fleshy looking mushrooms laddering tree bark.

Tino would really like you to see him. Can you see Tino? New bitty story in the amazing @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social
www.bloodhoneylit.com/fiction/t-is...
When Tino called in the sharks they were ready. They'd practiced so many times. The circle, the dip. Synchronized finning to the music of Bolero. Everyone watched the sharks so no one watched Tino. That's how he released the swans who never stayed in order no matter how much they practiced. They flapped and snapped at whatever was closest so people scuttled like roaches and Tino was invisible as always.

It tried to hide but I found a really big mushroom.
Mushroom about the size of two dinner plates relatively high up a tree.

My phone is on greyscale because I’m like that but I hope some of the colour and beauty of the moment exists in even a fragment here.
Beautiful yellow wildflower in foreground with white cloud and triangle slice of blue sky beyond.
