The day Alexa first took me to the cave ironically turned out to be my last day in mulligan village. For a while. The cave was something I’ve never seen before. It had these fluorescent ice pieces that hung from the ceiling.

“Are you sure we are allowed to be here?” I asked

“We probably aren’t allowed.” She said simply. Alexa was a risk taker. I on the other hand, was not.

“How’d you find thi...

We moved in the absolute worst time possible.

I’m not kidding. It was that season that was in between reason.

Not winter not fall.

When you step out, you see it all.

The leaves are gone.

The air is chilly and mean.

It smells like old books.

Not that I don’t like that smell.

It’s just, it makes you want to curl up and hide in a nook.

It’s the middle of the year for gods sake!

Dam...

When I first met Alexa at the library, she handed me a small yellow sticky note.

“Here” she said, shoving it into my sweaty hand

“What is it?”

“Read it!”

I was young back then. Thirteen probably. I dunno. I read the note carefully.

When I moved to mulligan village, I was angry. Bored. We moved around a lot so I was used to it. But nothing prepared me for who I saw. Alexa. I had known her before. I was sure of it.

“Hey” said Alexa right as I had gotten out of the car.

“Hey-“ that’s when I r...

We thought it would of solved all of our problems. Who got the money? Who kept the house? Drunks aunts fighting over silks, and old grandpa threatening his will. But what if we burned the money? Burned the house? Burned the silks from then and now. But as I walk back on these ruins, I see what I’ve ruined. I killed them. Killed my sweet innocent cousins. Lighting the fire would have been easy enou...

I remember the day I met you

I remember the day the world left you

Every day I search for that sparkle in your eyes.

I never seem to find it

No surprise.

When we saw each other

We could not be separate from one another

But that was then.

I should stop asking “when”

When when when when

Because that was then...
