New Story up at Splinter Generation
Painting by mega-talented artist Francine Spiegel
I’ve got a story up right now, “Gone and Gone Already,” at the very cool literary website Splinter Generation. (Thank you, Alan!) Here’s a little sample:
I call them the remnants. They seem miles away from being anything like Kay and me, but maybe that’s because we’re young and losing time and they seem old and ancient as icebergs. Maybe it’s because we can’t stop talking and they can’t seem to start. Those remnants are mute and locked behind their own mental glass, even at the tables in the lunchroom. Even when they dress up for visiting day, they seem engulfed in nightgowns. Their smiles scream apologies. They seem always to be waiting, just hanging in the hall like houseplants.
Now go read the rest, if you dig that taste.
