Her face fell and she said, “Yes, I know.” Staring out at the wintery wonderland over my box of pills, my thickened coffee, and my cane, the glass pane of the floor to ceiling windows feels like a cage. An impenetrable fortress of glass that shields me from the crisp air and the soft snowflakes.My hands shake. They call it a pill rolling tremor. My brain wants to jump up and pour another coffee, yet my body produces a defiant refusal...
Two’s Company & Three’s A Crowd

“Thomas!” A crack of skin and bones brwww.onedoor.ccoke the silent chatter of the picnic. Alison felt her heart beat out of her chest as she saw her husband stand over her cousin who had been standing several seconds before her vision hit the pair. It was not the situation she wanted in a family gathering. Her cousin, Cass, was lying on the ground with a robust grunt coming out as he rose after Thomas like a striking snake looking at his prey. Alison felt the urge to grab her husband until another family member inserted himself between the two, effectively splitting them apart.“You’re a freaking psycho, do ...
