The Girl in the Car
I was eight when I saw myself in the back of a stranger's car. Not a girl who looked like me. Me. It was a Marfa afternoon. The kind where heat makes the air thick and time stops mattering. Sally and I were running through the sprinkler, burning ourselves on hot concrete, bored and perfect.

For years, outside a church that had been closed, a dog was barking loudly. Suddenly, a shadow swayed and came out in front of it. Seeing that shadow, the dog’s voice got stuck in its throat. That shadow kept hovering around it. Suddenly, the dog was lifted into the air and flew inside the church along with the shadow. The sound of its running could still be heard. After some time, its body came flying back, but this time there was no life in it. Its entire body had turned white.

Alpha Mosquito . Content Warning.
I start with a cracked window and a simple bath, leaving the warm water to sit longer than usual. A single mosquito emerges, small and inconsequential. Another appears soon after. They breed, proliferating the room over the weeks as I observe in fascination. I procur steroids and bulk fuel to add into the water. The next mosquito is slightly bigger. Their sentience grows alongside their size - I force them to fight to the death for nutrients, the biggest and smartest survive and continues their blood line. A Roman coliseum of these creatures' strongest gladiators.
