Upside of leaving early for work: forced to write as I have nothing else to do before my shift.

Downside: I'm sitting outside as there's nowhere else to sit and I'm FUCKING COLD
Weather report, cropped to hide location, showing twelve degrees Celcius, but feels like ten degrees Celcius. There is a high of twelve degrees, a low of nine, and it's cloudy.

#WIPSnips for 4th of June. The word is CHECK, and the excerpt is from Right Back After This: Short Break, by L. J. Zephyr, the second in a series about finding love in a panopticon of interstellar fame. You can find more information at ljzephyr.carrd.co. The excerpt reads: He dryly remembers telling her to stay away from him. Even with that memory, he finds it impossible to blame her. A warning is just words. An experience is scarring. She says nothing, but cold, skeletal fingers graze his skin. They’re shaking, and they feel down his arms- checking his hands, checking they aren’t sharp, red claws. “It’s me,” he whispers, “it’s Riz. You’re okay, Wren, you’re okay.” The lie feels salty on his lips. She pulls him close, burnt sugar and the white shape of her hair in the darkness Riz’s only proof that it’s her. She hesitates before wrapping her arms around him, a death grip on his hand, clutching tight like she can’t let go, but afraid to bring him any closer. Stuck halfway between comfort and fear. Riz asks a question he knows she can’t answer. “What happened?”

The book cover for "Right Back After This: Short Break" by L.J. Zephyr, which is the second book in the series. The cover image shows the main character, Riz, a skinny, brown-skinned young man with artificial pink hair and heart-shaped eyes. He's faced away from the viewer, looking back at them with suspicion, and holding a phone in his hand down by his hip. The image is overlaid with digital eyes.
