“She’d stopped sifting through her memories not long after arriving at their half-built castle: It hurt to remember, and so she refused. Obstinately. And when the memories threatened to force her away from him, she argued with her reflection.”

“Filling my lungs with her subtle warning, / let me leave and bless my life, / before my very eyes begin to wither, / before I am coated in her words and broken memories, / before I cannot remember my own name and spill its syllables on my skin / just for them to shrivel.”

Green by Jennifer Heath
“It felt like I was all on my own, and, though I didn’t realize it at the time, I was broken. Not only was my body injured, my mind and soul had ruptured. The very core of my being had changed, and I wouldn’t realize it for another eighteen months.”
“Green” by Jennifer Heath
