It was like dust
fell from my ears,
like smoke
was blown from my eyes,
my time deep in the woods
would be over
and though I did not yet
have all the answers,
for the first time in a while
I was completely awake.

@bookstodon Reading ‘Hint Fiction: An Anthology of Stories in 25 Words Or Fewer’ and it might just be a collection of little bits pure genius. Hint fiction seems to take participatory phantasy to the next level, which gives reading these little sparks, these suggestions, these passing glimpses through the little gap in the curtains a particular sort of aliveness.

In case you’re wondering - the teeth are not all mine.
The one’s in the glass I borrowed from Grandma.

Love

Jenny used to get under my skin - so annoying.
She’d paddle around in my blood stream and then exit from one orifice or another.
