Resonance
I close my eyes and listen.
The steel of the safe is cool against my cheek as the tumblers slowly turn with soft clicks. The white silk of my long dress brushes against my skin as faint laughter and the hum of conversation drift into the dark room. I pause as the distant sound of sirens echo outside, glancing uneasily at the large bay window as the red and blue lights approach, then fade.
I’m so close. Just a few inches of steel separate me from what I desire most. And I won’t let them take it from me.
Not again.
Just Fate
Her name was Moira. She was the first child born after the world burned. Her mothers raised her with spinning and weaving cloth and stories, but she always felt her own story was incomplete. Until one day, adventure comes for her, and she must use her mothers’ gifts, her mothers’ stories, and her own bravery to survive.
Not Unchanged
I am the Keeper of the Gate. For this world, at least. “The Gate is open,” I say to the young souls, eager to seize their destiny; to the old, begging to change it. “Go. Remember, it is easy to stay. It is difficult to leave. But when it appears again, you must walk through. This world will remain unchanged, but you will not.”
Seafoam
She wasn’t a real mermaid. Rick knew that. Nadine was simply playing the role for the tourist pirate show, same as him. But the more he flounders, searching for a purpose, any purpose outside of the pretend world of pirates and mermaids, the more he wonders…
what if?
