Water

anonymous I wouldn’t call it a fear or something that makes my heart race anxiously at its mere thought. I wouldn’t call it my source of comfort or a cause of bringing me extreme joy either.

The Vacation

Cindy Grade 9 The day after William’s funeral, I stood in the hallway of the half-empty apartment, replaying the events of the day before.
