Everywhere

Grandmummy had a fire. It burns like holy water. Trickles down, there's smoke and curling. She doesn't talk but I saw. Always see...

Burning! Dolphins, sharks, eels. They're floating on the water. *screams to nothing* You killed the fishies! They're not swimming, not swimming!

It's burrowing down into my heart, making a little hole that the whole world can see. Oh, make it stop. Please. I promise to be good, eat all her meals and tend to the wells like Mummy said.

You tasted like cherry pie, but it hurts to say that now. Not half as tasty. Shouldn't steal things from the window.

They can't cool you know.

He hurts like the mile high bodies do. Doesn't know. Doesn't know he'll be talking to girls at night. I spied him. And they told me they like him, too.

The moon speaks like death and the pixies all went away. *whines as though she's being tortured* I tried to be good, but Father said I was of the devil. Mummy said it.

Shouldn't have ever seen! Shouldn't have ever...

*sits quietly staring into an empty, shattered mirror ignoring the blood on her hand*
