"We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are."

— Laura Van Prooyen, from "This Child"

"I burned so long so quiet you must have wondered if I loved you back. I did, I did, I do."

— Annelyse Gelman, from "The Pillowcase" in Everyone I Love is a Stranger to Someone

"Longing, of course, 

become its own object, the way

that desire can make anything into a god."

HER LIFE BEGAN AFTER DEATH WITH AN ANGRY HEART AND BLOOD RED TEARS

Blood has a funny way of seeping through clothing, sticky and hot and trickling down bare skin like soft kisses. Beautiful tanned bodies, prom queens, and golden girls all have spilled blood on their hands like oaths to do worse and promises to hurt. The gods gifted them with blood so thick it tastes of forbidden fruits, succulent and ripe and filled with memories and curses. 

Death came early for her, as it did for so many others. She was unlucky, a burden so grand that hell spat her back out with laughter running down its chin. The devil pitied her and the gods spited her, gifting her a life run by the simple urge to devour, kill, and hurt and hurt until she could feel no pain. 

The fires consumed her, forging gold to skin and warmth to rot. She had been nothing without her curses, without her fangs and bloodied hands that sung sweet melodies in her ears, commanding her to kill and kill and kill. She would not be calmed, nor would be quieted. No longer would she be weak and afraid, no, she would be feared just as the gods intended her to be.

She drank from the poisoned cup, slept with her demon, and took back her still beating heart. She had woken to power so strong it vibrated deep within her like a warning cry. The devil was not a single man but two, hungry and vengeful and crawling their way up the earth to ravage her body for the silk within her veins. 

SHE WAS A NOBODY, UNTIL SHE WASN'T.
