Her house is a lot friendlier than you might think. from FIST HOUSE witch liked pretty things. witch liked things like glass light and glitter fish. she didn't like doors. i didn't like her. i skinned her space, i ditched her glitter, i found her doors all stacked up in the cellar. she swam in my stairwell. she scraped her name on the walls then called me a liar. there’s a room in my house that’s white enough to rewrite. repaper words and you'll hide a hole. i bare my words and a gasp of dark fishes slip through the hole in the door. |
