But then, of course, she does look. They always do. It's stiff and curled in on itself, eyes open, staring up at the moon. Her face is blank and pale, her rough-woven shift stained black. A shell necklace is knotted in her hair. Blue veins, darker than the unfinished tattoos around her ears, extend from the bite-mark in her neck down to her collarbone."Age: 15+
- "A Better Place"released 2017Based on a dream about my father's death. Available for free from Daily SF.

My mother, my sister Cass and I on a picnic rug at the foot of dad's grave. Thank God we brought sparkling wine, not a heavy red.Age: 12+
