Bouquet
2 Ratings, 0 Likes, 0 Favorites )A reworking of the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" set against depression, self-mutilation and suicide. This is most certainly not a fairy tale. All characters are fictional, and this story has nothing to do with my feelings on medicine.

Faeries in the Backyard
1 Rating, 0 Likes, 2 Favorites )Do you believe in faeries in the backyard?

Do eyes—angled eyes, dewy eyes, envious eyes, curious eyes—watch you in the garden? Does a glimmer of light, caught in the creased corner of your eye, make you gasp and turn quickly, face searching and open, hands frozen in mid-movement, waiting, seeking a glimpse of the bright, evasive mystery.
