Summary:
The sand beneath my fingers is hot. Abrasive. The rolling vibration of the grain moving over the backs of my hands reminds me of a type of smoothness- a micro shhh shhh that is the only thing I can really focus on. I think it's all over- whatever just happened. [I know what happened.] My fingers test the edges of where the water from the happening has settled into a damp clump in my shadow. It is evaporating nicely in irregular waves of heat.
What if Vash did some reverse photosynthesizing and things just kept getting worse from there? A synesthesia inspired prose poetry and experimental form project with too much plot. I wrote this for me but you can read it too.
