Red Envelopes. Content Warning.
11:42. Should have a couple hours before Marie’s home. Don’t think about what she’s doing. Pull the cash from the shoebox and count. Just count. Don’t think about the ballet studio, the repetition, the chastising, the mansion, the bus rides. Remember to pull that hundred dollars out of the card Mom sent but don’t get started thinking about all her virtues and idiosyncrasies. Check the Cartier website. Count again. 200 short. Just call Bradley. Most likely he’s asleep anyway.

Unnatural Predators. Runner-Up in Through the Keyhole Challenge. Content Warning.
The keyhole was almost comically large, something out of a lamplight noir mystery. I thought of the night before when I had peeked through to see her at the vending machine, feeding it coins and pressing the esoteric combinations that would spit out our makeshift dinner.
